The Trick

Work:: The Trick (S389648801)

Afraid of your own shadow? You should be. What if it was to share your secrets with the rest of the world? Driven by a desire to create something original, one man releases control of his own shadow, in the hope that it will discover a kind of beauty that he can only dream of. Instead, it reveals to him a stark reality, as creative success swiftly degenerates into a moral battle between light and dark. Inspired by Hans Christian Anderson's 'The Shadow' and Franz Kafka's obeying the law, this contemporary fairytale has been created by Total Theatre Award winners; combining puppetry and object theatre with a live original music score. Featuring angry pegs, dancing scissors, magic taps and flying creatures; The Trick is playful, bizarre, beautiful and tragic.
