Description “An absolutely brilliant piece of work… Juxtaposing new technology with handmade toys, this performance was inspired, funny, dark, theatrically clever and sophisticated.” Lowdown Magazine, Australia.
Fluff is the story of a strange but caring woman and her assistants who run a home for lost toys. An incredibly imaginative and visually stunning production, this unique show uses a riveting combination of new technologies, vocal gymnastics, dance, dozens of night lights and hundreds of hand-made soft toys to explore the crossover in children’s lives between new technologies and well-loved, simple toys.
Join Christine Johnston, Lisa O’Neill and musician Peter Nelson as they venture into the secret lives of lost toys with Fluff, an original, warm and humorous production that will change the way you look at play things.
As much for imaginative adults as the target 3-8 year olds.
