After a girl’s granny passes away, she starts to suspect she is being
pursued by the smoke-demon shapeshifter from the old woman’s stories. In
the tradition of Spirited Away and Coraline, The Griegol is a mythic
gorgeously rendered dark fantasy for brave children and lovers of
atmospheric theatre. This is an inventive new work that conjures magic and
laughter out silhouettes, puppetry, live music and animation.
Trick of the Light Theatre is an award-winning company from Aotearoa/New
Zealand, founded by Hannah Smith and Ralph McCubbin Howell. They make
theatre that is playful, inventive and thought-provoking that speaks to the
here and now. Their shows are unified by their attention to narrative,
inventive visual design and belief that theatre should resonate with the
wider world. Their latest show, The Griegol, premiered at the Auckland Arts
Festival in March 2021.
