Glass Half Full creates new works of theatre using the precise physical language of both humans and puppets to address the momentous issues that humankind confronts across the globe. Our stories are designed to travel across linguistic and cultural boundaries to the heart of the imagination, where together with our audience we strive to probe, to question, to elevate, and to dream.

The Orchid Flotilla

Thursday-Saturday 8pm, Sunday 6pm
Salvage Vanguard Theater

Tickets: $15 at the door or online

The Orchid Flotilla is a wildly inventive original theatrical performance featuring gestural theatre and found object shadow puppetry.

From the depths of lonely imagination arises a sensual and poetic narrative about the transformative power of companionship and a witty examination of disposable packaging.

The flotilla is a tiny floating island of rubbish, adrift on a sea of blue plastic. Characters arise out of the depths in the form of human performers, manipulated objects, plastic junk masquerading as organic material, and human limbs manipulated as puppets.
