Could a goldfish save the world? We're in the middle of a performance. Suddenly, the theatre must transform into an evacuation centre due to an impending flood. Yet, the show must go on, right? In Goldfish, reality and fantasy collide, creating a world where magic takes the lead. It’s a dynamic, inventive performance—a game of eye spy on stage, where everyday items are transformed through communal imagination. We invite audiences of all ages to imagine new possibilities in an uncertain world, joining Goldfish in discovering a future shaped by creativity and resilience. Goldfish is the result of four years of collaboration between Terrapin and acclaimed Japanese artists Narumi Kouhei and Ayami Sasaki. This major international production blends contemporary Japanese design with Terrapin’s unique brand of tactile, evocative puppetry. Grounded in a shared commitment to material sustainability, it’s theatre—but not as you know it. __________________________________________________________________ Writer | Dan Giovannoni Designer | Narumi Kouhei (Dainanagekijo) / 鳴海康平(第七劇場)& Sam Routledge Co-Directors | Narumi Kouhei (Dainanagekijo) / 鳴海康平(第七劇場)& Sam Routledge Composer | Dylan Sheridan Lighting Designer | Richard Vabre Associate Designer | Yumemi Hiraki Script Translation | Norifumi Hida Residence Coordination and Cooperation in Japan | Aichi Prefectural Arts Theater Residence Coordination in Japan | Chiryu Public Theater
