A whole heap of horse-play in a play about a horse, and the man that wants to be one.
Confused? So is Jeff. Unfortunately Jeff wants to be something he can’t.
Terrapin’s new show is about chasing your dreams. Puppetry, acrobatics, magic tricks and things you should not do at home with elastic, weave a spell-binding journey for young and old. Digital projections in places you would not normally expect; saddles and oscilloscopes, balloons and hay; these are but bits of the world with which Jeff must do battle.
Sit back and watch as a wise cracking character called Bumface leads you through Jeff’s experiments. Will Jeff break free to run to the hills? Or settle for what might be best for him? The Gatekeeper is about that most beautiful of all adventures; the adventure of learning to be you.
way.
Following on from the captivating storytelling of Terrapin’s 2008 show Boats, where everyday objects magically transformed into puppets, and the innovative use of animations, television and puppets in 2009’s The Falling Room and the Flying Room, The Gatekeeper will take the audience for a genuine theatrical ride.
