Lone Wolf Tribe

Lone Wolf Tribe is a New York based puppet company helmed by artistic director, Kevin Augustine. Blending meticulous craft, physical rigor and decidedly dark humor, LWT's mission is to Investigate, Challenge & Spellbind with fearless original stories about our collective human experience.

Devoting years to realize each new production, Augustine is the eponymous lone wolf of his tribe, crafting tour-de-force characters for himself in the plays he writes & directs while performing alongside the puppets he makes. A trained actor and self-taught puppet artist, Augustine believes art-making is his lifeline to possibility. Since 1997 the company has conjured history, philosophy & life-sized puppetry into brutally poetic worlds on and off the stage. Unabashedly embracing art as a catalyst for social change, Lone Wolf Tribe has dug up ancient religious schisms, mounted secret circus side-shows, fought for animal rights and mourned the ongoing U.S. veteran suicide epidemic.

With a sophisticated simplicity, Augustine transforms ordinary upholstery foam, (repurposed couch cushions destined for our landfills), into a visceral ensemble of acting partners. World-renowned puppet artist Basil Twist says, "In Kevin's hands the simplest act of bringing life to the inanimate becomes a hugely theatrical event."
