Manipulate Festival: Size Matters
World Premiere | Produced by Vanishing Point in association with Manipulate Arts & Fidena by Mamoru Iriguchi and Fergus DunnetAbout
Size Matters is a wildly inventive new show from Mamoru Iriguchi (Eaten, What You See When Your Eyes Are Closed / What You Don’t See When Your Eyes Are Open).
Blending puppetry, science, and surrealist theatre, Julia and Mamoru and their puppet doubles explore how time and perception shift with size.
If your heart beats slower, does time pass differently? What happens when puppeteers grow, but their puppets stay the same? Playful, clever, and visually surprising, Size Matters is a joyful, mind-bending journey through time, perspective, and control.
Size Matters is part of the Traverse's £1 Ticket Project.
