The God Between Life and Death, Conductor of Souls, Usher of Oblivion, is visiting living souls for the first time through the vessel of a lowly mortal - Poppy! Existential as heck, real Stygian energy, a divine exploration of the meaning human beings bring to their own precious, fleeting existence.
With the support of The Mill, Poppy has enlisted a dream team of local Adelaide theatre-makers, artists and Intense Characters to bring the full production of PSYCHOPOMP screamingly to life. Audiences can expect bodily functions, games, storytelling, all through the eyes of an insensitive, arrogant god and a upsettingly human intermediary.
“A script both witty and wise delivered in a flawlessly clear presentation.” David Cronin, The Clothesline ★★★★
“Psychopomp is a triumph of clowning and storytelling. It’s a show that dares to be both raunchy and sincere, mad and meaningful.” Moss Meunier, Binge Fringe ★★★★
“Poppy’s movement is exacting throughout, with her alternating between her and the deity character at times as subtle as a change in stance.” Gianluca Noble, InDaily ★★★★
This show was developed through The Mill’s Centre Stage Residency, in partnership with Adelaide Fringe.
