The Seed Carriers Stephen Mottram (England)

Thursday 24 January 8.00pm

Imagine a race of small creatures that look remarkably like humans, but are really more like insects or plants. They are The Seed Carriers. Valuable and vulnerable, they are farmed for the seeds carried within them. They must develop their cunning to survive the ruthless social system in which they live. So with the aid of fabulous machines, they disguise themselves as birds, fish and insects. In conspiracy with Glyn Perrin's music, these puppets draw their audience into a beautiful, colourful world which becomes horrific and then haunting as our understanding of it starts to dawn.  The Seed Carriers has become a classic work of world animation theatre, winning many international theatre awards during tours in 18 countries over the past decade

"Brilliant…definitely not to be missed”   The Guardian (UK)

"His artistry is formidable, like his imagination. I have never before seen the eeriness of marionettes combined so insistently with dread"  The Times (UK)
