Transplant
Transplant is a medical fairytale that combines puppetry, performance and installation in a unique experience. After being thoroughly prepped, a small audience are taken to the operating theatre where a body is opened to expose an amazing world contaminated by a mysterious plague. The audience is ready to assist, the Doctor is poised to begin but what is the cure?
Transplant was nominated for a Green Room Award in 2015.

“…..a fun, immersive, interactive and thought-provoking experience that embraced our collective neuroses around the human body, infection, sickness and survival.”

'Every now and again, there is a show that is so unexpected and unusual that it remains vividly with you for quite some time after seeing it. ...Transplant is a highly entertaining evening that ensures a full sensory experience for its audiences as they explore ideas of life and death and humanity.'
