Poppy initially presented PSYCHOPOMP as an experimental work during Adelaide Fringe 2024. The titular character is a temperamental god who inhabits the interstitial space between life and death, and ferries human souls across the breach.
Poppy will seek to explore various new methods of audience participation and emotional and physical intimacies between performer and audience. Poppy invites audiences to join her in a playful exploration that will involve participatory games, dancing and moving in the space, and a post-showing conversation about intimacy and physical touch in a theatrical/performance environment.
PSYCHOPOMP is being developed as part of The Mill’s Centre Stage Residency, in collaboration with Adelaide Fringe, and will be presented as part of The Mill’s 2025 Adelaide Fringe program.
The showing will be followed by a short Q&A with Poppy, hosted by The Mill CEO / Artistic Director Katrina Lazaroff. Audiences will have the opportunity to ask questions about the development and provide feedback about the performance.
