In the beginning was the word…

A cry out of the darkness…

Angel depicts the fall from grace of a drunken tramp who encounters an angel in a graveyard and sets up home with him.

Angel transports us to an ambivalent world of dreams, curses and revelation. Does the angel bring a message, a judgment, or the kiss of death? Has the drunken tramp had one too many? Duda Paiva compellingly blends dance, puppetry and confessions into a magical tale of unholy love.

Renowned for their innovative combination of modern dance with classic puppet manipulation, Artistic Directors Eduardo de Paiva Souza and Paul Selwyn Norton have pioneered a new technique, ‘dividing the beats’, which animates and extends the dancers body language and choreography. The result is a poetic form that enthralls and provokes as much as it entertains.

With choreographic artistry and dramatic vision, Angel is a haunting experience of intense beauty and restraint.

MEET THE ARTISTS! Free for all Friday 11th 6:00pm ticket holders. Duda Paiva Puppetry and Dance will present a special 40 minute discussion directly after the show.

“Great puppetry involves the ability of the performer to transfer energy and intelligence to the figure itself, making it and its movements completely convincing and captivating – Duda does this brilliantly.”
