Rubbish

A co-production with Warwick Arts Centre in association with artsdepot, touring in 2013 and 2014.

Rubbish is a visually stunning and playful production, exploring the unexpected value of discarded objects. Our cast of excavators transform the contents of a series of bin bags to discover animated objects made out of rubbish. 

Rubbish toured the UK in 2013 and 2014.
