​
An approach to all three basic elements that contribute to making a complete visual universe - Object, Universe and Life. OBJECT - puppet, mask, shadows; UNIVERSE - scenography, light and sound; LIFE - how these elements become animate. An exploratory laboratory, which examines through analysis, practice and experimentations, how a harmonious puppetry performance is created. Through improvisations and research on stage individually and in groups, participants will work on how to develop and realise an idea, all the way from scratch to the final desirable result. See here for Merlin Puppet Theatre's show at the festival, "Noone's Land".

Description
ACCESS: Live captions. UK Premiere. One building, five apartments and six main characters. Comical-tragical personalities, leading a miserable life which they aren’t afraid to lose but they are afraid to live.
The spectator is watching them live their conventional lives in a dark, claustrophobic setting, with their fears, obsessions and loneliness. In this dark comedy, ‘Merlin’ are dramatising and demonising their obsessions until they finally punish and liberate them with the most violent manner.
