When the Pictures Came is an extraordinary cross-cultural collaboration between Tasmania’s Terrapin Puppet Theatre and the Children’s Art Theatre of China Welfare Institute.
This absurd and comic story by Finegan Kruckemeyer is about four hapless characters that learn to work as a team, to overcome a formidable opponent who seeks to prevent them from living in harmony. Slapstick, puppets, and innovative digital techniques make this a more-than-ridiculous cartoon-style story.
Under Frank Newman’s direction, the animations of the award-winning film maker Zeng Yigang blend with black-light puppetry and live performance to create a remarkable piece of theatre.
