VANISHING POINT WINTER RESIDENCY at THE CITZ

Size Matters

by Mamoru Iriguchi 

Produced by Vanishing Point 
In association with Manipulate Arts & Fidena  

Size Matters is a wildly inventive new show from Mamoru Iriguchi (Eaten, What You See When Your Eyes Are Closed / What You Don’t See When Your Eyes Are Open). Blending puppetry, science, and surrealist theatre, Julia and Mamoru and their puppet doubles explore how time and perception shift with size. If your heart beats slower, does time pass differently? What happens when puppeteers grow, but their puppets stay the same? Playful, clever, and visually surprising, Size Matters is a joyful, mind-bending journey through time, perspective, and control.  

Supported by Tramway’s Residency Programme and Dance Base 

Funded by Creative Scotland Open Fund For Individuals (Mamoru Iriguchi)

Why have we programmed Size Matters?

Size Matters is a new show from one of Scotland’s most idiosyncratic and visionary artists. It reflects Vanishing Point’s enthusiasm for supporting the work of visionary and internationally-minded theatre makers who are brave enough to challenge formal perceptions about theatre and follow their own path.
