Mr. Bunk
WINNER - Total Theatre Award, Edinburgh Fringe 2011
***** 'Hauntingly beautiful. Awesome.' Adelaide Advertiser
'More entertaining than a multi-million dollar musical' The List (UK)
"It's hard to imagine a more entertaining, generous or inspirational show" FringeReview (Edinburgh)
A seasoned street performer, Mr.Bunk made the jump into indoor theatre performances with his shadow puppet variety show at the 2009 Adelaide Fringe Festival. Sticks Stones Broken Bones was a critically acclaimed fusion of clowning and shadow puppetry. With all of the puppetry performed in front of the screen, the audience was given a unique perspective at how each of the silhouettes was created from bits of rubbish and everyday objects.
After a sellout season at the 2010 Edinburgh Fringe festival, Sticks Stones Broken Bones was shortlisted for a Total Theatre award, and was awarded 'Best Newcomer' and 'Spirit of the Fringe'. Using minimal dialogue, the show has traveled through Australia to Ireland and the UK, the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, France and a run off Broadway in New York City. A follow-up shadow puppet show, Swamp Juice, begins its international tour at the Edinburgh Fringe in Aug 2011.
When not fussing over his puppets, Mr.Bunk lives in Montreal and Melbourne.
"A monochrome master of light and dark, his whimsical narratives carry the audience on a surging wave of surprised laughter as he presents a series of interlinked wordless vignettes, each one better than the last." The List (UK)
"Sell your souls to Satan, pawn the Pekinese, put your kidneys up on ebay but just find money enough to secure tickets for an unforgettable Fringe show family phantasmagoria." The Edinburgh Reporter
