Loose Ends by Sarah Elding for What’s on in Adelaide
loose ends: the last few details that need to be finished or explained in order for something to be complete
In a quiet, intimate theatre, performer Jens Altheimer takes his audience on a fanciful journey of friendship with raw emotion and at times laugh out loud comedy.
Loose Ends is a story of a man – arranging his emotions and possessions into a series of categorised boxes which are filled with quirky bits and pieces. Altheimer’s gadgets come to live to create his one true friend, however the puppets take on a mind of their own, sending the audience into laughter with a side of chaos.
This highly visual performance is supported by a simple, but very effective series of props consisting of an enchanting and captivating shadow display and gadgets that have to be seen to be believed.
The show is supported by a reassuring soundtrack that is both endearing and energetic.
Suitable for primary school aged children.
Loose Ends appears in the Le Cascadeur (Garden of Unearthly Delights) – Wednesday to Sunday until 13 March
