Whimsical Beauty

A fun and uplifting double bill of innovative puppetry, movement, comedy and poetry:

Eh!

An amusing, creative slapstick comedy with ingenious puppetry and physical theatre. A young man stumbles through life fighting the very thing that holds him back – himself! He tries finding love, hits the gym, and gives life a go – but everything that can go wrong, does. A laugh-out-loud spiral of misfires, mayhem, and misguided hope.

On Beauty

On Beauty is a captivating piece of immersive visual theatre. With imaginative and innovative puppetry, poetry and movement it presents the poem of the same name by Khalil Gibran. Throughout the show the source of all life sends forth spirits from the Divine realm to the physical world. While the poem’s quest to define beauty provides the narrative and thematic structure, the magic of puppetry as a ‘life’ giving artform is explored through spirit-seeking different forms.
