The puppetry consultant is Michael Barlow. In the latter, scary use is made of a floating, flailing sheet and a bed that comes to life. The stand-outs are a boat trip down a canal in Shanghai, buildings and statuary either side, water rippling under the boat, and the gloomy interior of a haunted mansion. Working with media artist Sohan Ariel Hayes, they use brilliant projections and simple multi-purpose structures to create detailed milieus both interior and exterior. The staging, by co-directors Ching Ching Ho and Matt Edgerton, the set design by Zoe Atkinson, and the lighting design by Matthew Marshall are all absolutely outstanding. But Por Por is a ghost hunter, a kind of exorcist, and Celeste will overcome her Aussie scepticism and her fears and discover that she is a ghost hunter too. In China, Celeste stays with her grandmother, Por Por (Amanda Ma) and Por Por’s adopted daughter Ting Ting (Yilin Kong), a girl Celeste’s age and grumpy at this intruder. 3 – 21 October 2018Ĭeleste (Alice Keohavong), a French-Chinese Australian girl, travels to China to scatter the ashes of her mother at the mother’s birthplace. By Vanessa Bates, adapted from the novel by Gabrielle Wang.
