‘Silhouettes that have something of the deft wit<br />
of Picasso sketches.’ The Guardian<br />
‘Incomparably eldritch shadow <strong>puppets</strong>:<br />
snipped with gothic delicacy from black paper,<br />
their crooked fingers reach directly into your<br />
imagination.’ Time Out<br />
Flyboy, Sad Lucy and other Stories<br />
Artist and musician Matthew Robins tells the<br />
story of Flyboy, half-boy/half-fly, in a series<br />
of romantic science-fiction shadow-puppet<br />
operas. Singing and performing live on stage<br />
with his band, Matthew projects his intricate<br />
paper cut-outs and home-made cardboard<br />
animations onto the big-screen. Running time:<br />
100 minutes including interval, but can be<br />
tailored to fit specific requirements. Performed<br />
in English, but highly visual.<br />
