In a series of extraordinary vignettes performed to the atmospheric music of top British composers Pete McPhail, Glyn Perrin and Simon Walters, marionettist Stephen Mottram creates powerful animation theatre, for adults. The incredible world they inhabit is full of surprises, from the most elegant and tender moments to darkly mystifying magic. Humour combines with the macabre to create a richly teasing visual feast, while uneasiness grows as the puppets become more and more independent of the artist who controls them. Sophisticated visual theatre which is hauntingly different.
Its powerful atmospheric quality is totally captivating.
