Part Eraserhead, part Gormenghast, part Charles Dickens, Snuffhouse Dustlouse is the poignant tale of a half-human half-sack figure whose obsessive daily rituals are threatened by the sudden arrival of an outsider. Forgotten truths about the past emerge, an ordered world is thrown into chaos. With its bizarre stories and wonderfully Heath Robinson mechanical sets, Faulty Optic's unique style of animation theatre has fascinated audiences around the world First created ten years ago, Snuffhouse Dustlouse has become a timeless classic, an orgy of visual delights including an automated thunder machine, pickled talking heads and a spectacularly glittering finale.
Sucked into this weird world we are transfixed by magic.
