1927

Like a giant graphic novel burst into life, theatre company 1927 invites you to take a step through the looking glass into a dark and fantastical tale of an extraordinary ordinary man.

Blending 1927’s synthesis of handmade animation, claymation, live music and performance, Golem is a dystopian fable for the 21st century, which cleverly and satirically explores one of the great questions of the modern world: who or what is in control of our technologies?
