Dreamer In The Deep is the first puppet show I've seen at the Fringe and it was a magical and mesmerising production of theatre, music, props and staging.
Dreamer In The Deep is at the Puppet Palace, in the 'Garden of Unearthly Delights' until March 25.

Dream Puppets Theatre presented a magical production where the puppets and the props all glowed in the dark, creating a visually spectacular show.
Dreamer In The Deep is a fantasy tale about a hero named Dreamer and his luminous seahorse companion, on a mission to save a golden leafy seadragon who has been captured by an evil giant scorpion fish.
The courageous duo venture above and below the ocean, where all the wonderous beauty of the Australian coast, and its ocean's sea creatures are created with puppets and props that are terrifying, humourous, delicate and bewildering.
Although the show has no dialogue, Puppeteer Julia Davis lent her voice to a couple of talented crustaceans; where an opera singing prawn is accompanied by a crab on accordion. It's a highlight filled with humour, emotion and fun.
Dreamer In The Deep is set to the evocative and alluring music by Melbourne composer John Grant. Grant's music enabled the audience to feel the sense of the underwaters' treacherous, beautiful and beguiling nature. A wonderful selection of music that cleverly complements the puppets' movements and intentions.
The show truly captures the imagination and leaves you with a gentle reminder of the majestic beauty and fragility of the ocean and its inhabitants.
