Overview
Sock puppets are hardly the building blocks for a captivating story, which is why boy girl wall is creating such a stir within the performance word. The creation of award-winning independent theatre-makers The Escapists, boy girl wall tells the tale of two neighbours bought together, told with the help of sock puppets, chalk, a projector and over two-dozen characters.
One fourth of The Escapists Lucas Stibbard, along with puppetry, physical performance, stand-up and illustrations, depicts the story of Thom and Aletha, two neighbours in a West End apartment block who are desperately trying to keep their lives from falling apart. Though strangers at first, the two have a lot in common, namely they are both on the verge of loosing their jobs and are simultaneously experiencing the worst weeks of their life. Seeing that they could both use a shoulder to cry on is the building that they live in. Walls come down and the beginning of a lover story presents itself. Adding to the whimsy and sentiment of the witty performance is live music from Escapist member Neridah Waters.
After sell out seasons at Metro Arts and the Adelaide Fringe, boy girl wall is now being re-drawn for La Boite's main stage and is well worth a watch.
