The Grimstones - "Hatched" Touring Victoria 2009 TVC

Описание: The Grimstones
Victorian Tour 14 September - 1 October 2009
Regional Arts Victoria proudly announces the 2009 Victorian tour of Sky Works The Grimstones, which will tour to 10 regional and metropolitan centres across the state.
The Grimstones is a gothic fairytale, compelling and magical, about a girl who reads dreams, a baby boy with three legs, a mother who sews garments lined with warmth and joy, and a grandfather who heals people with his magical concoctions.
The story is told with beautiful handcrafted old-world marionettes, giant books and sign language, making it a truly delightful experience for hearing and deaf audiences.
Those who enjoyed Harry Potter, Edward Scissorhands or The Addams Family will love The Grimstones.
The Grimstones was created by Asphyxia, a Deaf circus performer turned puppeteer who has toured
nationally and internationally over the past decade. Over 18 months, Asphyxia developed the aesthetic
for the show and designed and handcrafted each of the marionettes and the exquisite sets that surround them.
Described as magical, beautiful and unique, the entire set emerges from three giant books that open up to reveal The Grimstones intricate world, contrasting between the delightful warmth of Velvettas sewing studio, Mortimers cold tomb strewn with roses and Elchos timeless apothecary. There are always a handful of people who linger after the show, asking questions, examining the sets and puppets, longing to somehow take a piece of it home with them, says Asphyxia, so i have created an Artists Journal which follows my journey from the initial inspiration through to opening night.
Regional Arts Victoria is proudly touring The Grimstones to Drysdale, Sale, Williamstown, Dandenong,
South Morang, Colac, Portland, Wodonga, Warburton and Upwey in September and October 2009.
