The Ballad of the Underwater Daughter

By The Object Project

Unhinged puppetry for adults and older children from Marc Parrett and The OBJECT Project, makers of Pixiematosis

Somewhere out there, in the murky no-man’s-land between reality and ‘are you pulling my leg?’ there’s a mechanical island inhabited entirely by dads. Bodged together out of mangled metal and broken dreams, dad island is a flawed coping mechanism that barely manages to hold itself together. Then one stormy night, a tiny barnacle encrusted bottle floats into the harbour with a crumpled note inside which reads, ‘remember me?’

The Ballad of the Underwater Daughter is a strange sort of odyssey. A woozy universe of messy minds and monstrously fishy metaphors.

Overloaded with puppets, props and machines, it is unquestionably the latest production from Leeds’ own The OBJECT Project (the company that may or may not have traumatised you with Pixiematosis).
