Hit Gelamp is a London based company which uses shadow theatre, puppetry and performance to tell stories.

We use the body, its shadow and puppet forms both in front and behind the screen to explore shifting levels of meaning.

Louise Radinger set up Hit Gelamp originally in 2010 while collaborating with artist John Dodgson to make the production Madeleine on Tiptoe.

Louise had recently returned from Bamberg in Germany where she had been training with Norbert Götz, founder of Theater der Schatten. Madeleine was performed by Louise and John and reprised for the Little Angel Suspense Theatre Festival by Louise and actor/puppeteer Chand Martinez.
