Faulty Optic UK 'It feels not like the shadow world of traditional puppetry but like a projection of human fears and desires, as though it is a pleasant game threatened by monsters. If you can imagine Wallace and Gromit written by Samuel Beckett, you might get some idea of Soiled.' Irish Times Through the machinations of a boxing ballerina, a soil-spitting psychic, a sparrow with a Tourette's disorder and two jolly wafters, a tale of deadly secrets, love and deception unfolds. Using animated figures, pre-recorded and live feed video, complex micro installations and specially composed sound and music, Faulty Optic’s bizarre brand of visual theatre has won an international following. Charming, cruel and spiked with wicked humour, Soiled draws on many traditions and ideas - Japanese Kabuki, Grand Guignol, surrealist spectacle and knockabout farce.
