The Runaway Effect (Work in Progress)

Aris has spent her whole life running away, but even at the edge of the world her problems are there to meet her. Inspired by stories of yōkai, monsters from Japanese folklore, The Runaway Effect is a modern fairytale exploring self-preservation, self-acceptance and abandonment. Brought to life with puppetry, live sound and experimental multimedia, we travel through icy landscapes filled with supernatural entities.    Whether these creatures are helpful, mischievous, malevolent, or entirely in her head, Aris must find out what they want to find her way home.    Praise for Diana's previous work:  Theatre Weekly: 4 stars - “Beautifully crafted storytelling”  ADVENTURES IN THEATRELAND - 4 stars - “not just a performance but an essential experience”  The Stage: “[Feng] is a vibrant, versatile, and engaging performer”  Scotsman: “Well worth seeing and savouring”    Co-creators/ Performers: Diana Feng, Yojiro  Puppet Designer/ Maker: Mikayla R.
