shadow theatre
Using the traditional medium of Shadow Theatre in a contemporary form — StruthArts brings us back to the bare bones of the moving image.
Work in Progress
StruthArts dish up refreshing visual entertainment in the form of contemporary adult shadow theatre. Their new work touches, ever so lightly, on one of Western society's heaviest taboos.
Being 'provocateurs of the dark' they challenge their audience through caustic humour. This work is destined for australian and international festivals and unique venues.

Recent Performance — The Debutante
StruthArts adapted this off-beat tale to the shadow screen. Written by Leonora Carrington, a Surrealist artist of the 1920's, it captures our cultures pathetic need to be seen as a 'civilized' society.
"We designed 'The Debutante' to suit community involvement. It requires minimal rehersal time and can be performed sucessfully using novice puppeteers."
A raw, fresh experience is ensured for both the audience and performers every time!
