I Think I Can – Terrapin Puppet Theatre
To play with these puppets you first have to take a personality test.
Overview
Do you sometimes get frustrated with your real, life-sized world? Everyone needs an escape from time to time and, if you've seen everything good at the movies, I Think I Can could prove the perfect way to relax. Terrapin Puppet Theatre are presenting a tiny world for you to navigate with a personalised figurine. Sure, it's primarily made for kids, but all of your problems look so tantalisingly small when they're 5cm tall and made of plastic.
Created by director Sam Routledge and artist Martyn Coutts, this work isn't just a model train gone wild. Before playing with the set, each audience member/prospective puppet is asked to take a short personality test, the results are then used to assign them with a figurine, and they can move about the tiny world. Each puppets movements are then tracked, filmed and collated into a surprisingly entertaining online newspaper called The Tiny Times.
Don't worry, this little gem can be enjoyed by adults too. It was a hit at the Perth Festival earlier this year and comes personally recommended from The Guardian. If you feel a little shy about elbowing kids out of the way to play, there's a special adult's session on Friday, October 3 from 5.30-8.3opm.
