Peepshow Inc. evolved from a pre-existing group of artists who have been making work together since 1998. This multi-skilled group collaborate and cooporate with artistic director Melinda Hetzel to create unique theatre. Peepshow identifies a core group but also seeks to involve and benefit from new collaborators and their creative energy.
The work of peepshow Inc puts bodies and puppets in the same space. With a varied theatrical vocabulary, Peepshow aims to charm and enchant. Peepshow makes theatrical pictures which speak honestly about simple things, but also provoke and move. Peepshow's theatre is live.
Based in Melbourne, Peepshow seeks to form links with groups both inside and outside out community. Building on a history of international collaboration, Peepshow will take its work to the world. Peepshow wants to find new audiences by touring, discovering different performance spaces and operating at a range of scales; from the single performer Puppet Peepshow venue to the large scale Puppet Opera.
Peepshow Inc makes theatre which blurs the line between imagination and magic, puppets and possibility.
