Part puppet show, part storybook, part daydream, The Harbinger is a classic tale of heroes and villains, centred on a little girl and an old man who find themselves thrown together in the aftermath of civil war. The Harbinger embraces terror and beauty and enchants us with both.
With sophisticated puppetry and physical performance, The Harbinger was written and developed collaboratively by Dead Puppet Society and La Boite Theatre and originally copresented as part of La Boite’s 2011 Indie Season. Receiving strong critical acclaim, Mathew Ryan, (Kelly, Boy Girl Wall) then created a narrative and it was remounted as a main stage production to sell out houses in 2012. It has also been nominated for a Matilda Award for Best Mainstage Production.
Queensland’s inimitable Dead Puppet Society melds live performance, puppetry, animation and stage trickery to create a richly magical world where the lines between reality and makebelieve fall away. The Harbinger is a gothic tale of solitude, heartbreak and of a time long forgotten.
