Amadan Ensemble presents: Geppetto

Geppetto is the story of a lonely
old man, grieving the loss of his wife and isolated from the world outside
his workshop.  He spends his days pottering in his repair shop,
half-heartedly fixing broken things, never quite getting to the bottom of the
pile of these once loved but now discarded items.  His small and solitary
life is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of a mysterious visitor that
brings his broken things to life; a lamp causes havoc, a radio bursts into
song, and a Hoover is determined to cause trouble.  Geppetto is slowly
pulled out of his lonely existence and into a world full of hope and
opportunity. 

He is finally able to move through
life no longer weighed down by loss.  As we leave him, the mysterious
visitor has one last gift to bestow – one story’s end is just another story’s
beginning.  

Geppetto,
an original story by David Morgan (The
Untold Truth of Captain Hook) is a non-verbal production, featuring
physical comedy, puppetry and music. 

This fun and hilarious new
production is suitable for children aged 6yrs +
