The Table
Join the award winning company in a evening of disembodied heads, floating stories, and a tiny Moses with a cardboard head.
Operated by The Society of London Theatre
The Table
Soho Theatre, 21 Dean Street, London
From the innovators who created memorable puppetry for Anthony Minghella’s award winning Madam Butterfly, Simon McBurney’s A Dog’s Heart and their own sell-out hits, 1984 and Low Life, comes The Table.
Join them on a visual journey that takes in a ballet of disembodied heads, a story told entirely by pictures emerging from a briefcase, and a tiny Moses with a cardboard head full of lonely wisdom. Told with few words, beautiful, three-person operated figures, dark humour and flat pack technology. No man is an island…but sometimes a puppet can be a table.
Supported by Jackson's Lane. Comissioned by YaD Arts and JCC.
