The Collector
The Collector is a mysterious tale, set in an alternate reality, about a lowly debt collector, who, under the management of a mechanical, tyrannical overseer, undergoes a radical transformation of spirit in the process of collecting outstanding debts. As he travels through the urban landscape the boundaries between object and self collide. The story unfolds into a multidimensional mixed media performance through Orwellian, neo-Victorian lenses. Performed with toy theatre, table-top puppets, object theatre, and stop motion animation The agitprop nature of this alternate reality is underscored by original film and constructed soundscapes by sound artist Margaret Noble. Funded in part by The Jim Henson Foundation, The Puffin Foundation & The Sator Arts Foundation.
