Amongst the ink blots, intercoms, coffee rings and pizza, theres a little doorway down to the bottom of the deepest ocean, where the seabed sludge has a similar chemistry to the that of the human brain. The brain hosts trillions of neurons, each playing an endless game of mental pingpong. Of course no-one really knows any of this as fact, although someone bravely went in search and sent back reports, whilst others scrutinised, postulated and made lists. Faulty Optic are famous for their haunting tales, unusual visual theatre, strange animated figures and dark humour. Gavin Glovers latest production for the Company engages three amateur scientists to plumb the depths of the Moon, the legend of Salome and the consequences of overthinking. Suspend your disbelief, forget the normal, plunge into a world of surreal adult puppetry.
