About the Show

Reality and fantasy collide in Goldfish. It’s a dynamic, inventive performance — a game of eye spy on stage, where everyday items are transformed through the communal magic of suspended disbelief.

A solo puppeteer spins a fable for children. We hear a story of people who get rid of time: no night, no day. This creates a flood, devastating the land. But when two disaster recovery workers suddenly burst into the theatre, fiction becomes fact and a new story demands to be told.

Goldfish is a ground-breaking collaboration between celebrated Tasmanian puppetry company Terrapin and Japan’s Aichi Prefectural Art Theater, with performers from Australia and Japan. The show does not travel with a set. Instead, a new set is made for each season using the materials of disaster recovery unique to each place. These materials are then donated to key organisations working in disaster management.
