Scarey

Scarey tells the story of a travelling troupe of puppets, their technical crew of skeletons and a group of exploited and neurotic humans who are a novelty act in the show. It’s a glimpse into a strange world, one that human beings are born into (birth) spend their lives onstage (life) and eventually disappear in a magic trick (death). Scarey examines the fragility of human existence where the question ‘Who creates God?’ is asked. Highly atmospheric and visually stimulating, there is no place in this freak show for drawing room niceties. At times the air is carbonated with excitement, curdled with fear, laden with foreboding. In the world of Scarey buffoonish skeletons rule, and the customary relationship between puppet and puppeteer is reversed.
