Frank could be a genius. Just one more ‘i’ and he’d be an Einstein!
Frank’s a lonely guy who wants to make his imaginary friends real. Harnessing electricity from a storm he animates his world with nothing but his imagination and a cardboard box. Battling a physical impairment, Frank creates monsters to fulfill his desire to be normal and to be accepted by others. Can he control what he creates? And where is the real monster anyway?
Frank Enstein is a retelling of the classic tale for children and adults – magical dance-theatre illuminating a path to self-acceptance. This is theatre as if made by Michel Gondry, handcrafted and full of the love of old fashioned techniques.
Co3 Australia collaborates with The Farm to present Frank Enstein, a dance work that is full of The Farm’s wicked sense of humour, magic and dance to create a show for the child in all of us.
