Apologue Isle

A project by Andy Hutson in collaboration with Rob Braslin, Robert O’Connor, Merinda Sainty, Theresa Sainty, Kartanya Maynard, Nunami Sculthorpe-Green, Andy Hutson, Ben Yardley, Aaron Everett, Nala Mansell, Kulai Sculthorpe, Erin Hortle, Gabbee Stolp, Mat Ward, Laura Imbruglia, Tom O’Hern, Andrew Hawley, Ethan Rawlins, Kim Jaeger, Sylvie Jaeger, Cheryl Mundy, Jim Everett-puralia meenamatta, Jolie Everett, Sam George-Allen, Rachel Meyers, Alex Last, Genevieve Griffiths, Fiona Hall and Nick Kirmos.

Combining storytelling, puppetry and kinetic sculpture Apologue Isle addresses with an increasing sense of urgency, the fractured relationship between people and nature.

An apologue is a moral fable that lends primacy to non-human entities as drivers of narrative. Apologue Isle foregrounds nature by giving a tangible voice to the land of Lutruwita/Tasmania.

Handmade mechanical puppets in the shape of humans, animals, plants, geological forms and natural forces converse, telling stories of discovery, loss, regeneration and awakening.
