Independent on SundayPull from your loins a nest of twigs, beware the wolf-man and the raven too!
Drawing on images and themes from life and myth and using live video-feed painting, object theatre, puppetry and animation, Plucked follows a journey from beauty to beast and beyond, exploring the frailties and complexities of being human.
Invisible Thread is the new company established by Liz Walker, co-founder and joint artistic director of Faulty Optic. Inhabiting the same world of cronky mechanical sets and strange animated figures as its famous predecessor which toured the world for twenty years, Plucked is a fairy tale for adults, scary and haunting, funny and tragic.
Escape normality and suspend disbelief as you enter the magical world of surreal adult puppetry.
Performers: Dana Amos, Simon Kerrigan, Liz Walker
