smallpox theatre..
April 26, 2012
Smallpox [smôlˌpäks]
1. An acute contagious disease transmitted through close contact.
Usually leaving permanent scars.
2. Spawned from the misspent youths of a puppeteer and a
storyteller, Smallpox Theatre is the collaboration of Splatt & Lark, two multi-
disciplinary, Melbourne based theatre makers.
The sweet nostalgic styling of this troupe drips like molasses off the tail of a
dead cat. The dark, twisted surrealism that engulfs the Smallpox world marries
puppetry, mime, clowning and sideshow to create a mode of visual storytelling
that is intimate, poetic and grotesquely playful.
