Smoking
Apples seek to create inspiring and freeing theatre which can draw an
audience in whilst still enabling them to reflect on themselves and
their situation. The company explore everyday subjects which are
too
often overlooked and endeavour to bring the stories of characters you
might find in the background to the centre of the audience's
attention.
Smoking Apples devise their work using a combination of puppetry, physical and visual theatre, with live and original music. Bringing an exciting approach to their work by keeping actors and puppets as equals on stage, the company do not use the puppets to act as a separate entity but as another character in the narrative.
The
company collaborate with other exciting artists in order to inspire
new processes and continue to look for opportunities to expand their
connections and approaches to the work. The work is specifically
aimed to engage the adult imagination with the intention of giving
them back their dreams.
