A mysterious figure frozen in a painting, sold and stolen, displayed and desired over the course of a century, now hidden in a Viennese brothel by a madam on the verge of madness. Canada’s foremost artist in puppet theatre, Ronnie Burkett creates some of the world’s most elaborate and provocative puppetry. Bawdy, wry, witty and sentimental, Burkett’s work plumbs the highs and lows of the human experience in a play that is tender, exotic, erotic and wonderfully beautiful.

‘Remarkable complex and stimulating. The theatre that is so much about humanity has no human in it. We need a show such as Burkett's to remind us that in the hands of a master puppeteer, old-fashioned string marionettes can make you laugh, weep - and even think’
The Guardian
