Winner of the 2023 Sydney Fringe Best Emerging Artist Award
An experimental shadow puppet show for adults that tells ancient mythologies of dragons across cultures and time, exploring eco-feminism, and what it means to slay a creature of power. Winner of the 2023 Sydney Fringe Best Emerging Artist Award.
Enter into a sublime world of re-imagination with this captivating shadow puppetry show.
Bria McCarthy, an exciting and visionary writer, multi-media artist and shadow puppeteer, will take you on a journey through re-conceived and subverted dragon stories from Ancient Greece, old English folklore, the bible and Bria’s own imagination. Through mesmerising light play and intricate storytelling, this show will transport you from the theatre into a captivating world of new lore that will stay with you long after you go home.
