Muckheap is a colourful show full of delightful puppetry. Funny, fast and fantastically messy, Muckheap is a tale of two people trying to clean out their shed for hard rubbish day. In the process they find everything that they thought was junk is too interesting, useful or too full of memories to throw away. When memories and characters take over the audience is swept up with the junk into a fabulous storytelling frenzy. While the ‘keep' pile gets bigger and bigger, they find themselves telling the story of Jack and the Beanstalk, but with a twist. In the end, all good intentions are joyfully discarded in favour of a rich and exciting life. Junk will never look the same.

From throwing out junk to creating characters with consummate ease, this show displays the awesome power of the puppeteer. It also invites children to become their own story makers and encourages imaginative play through whatever you have at hand. Muckheap has toured to festivals, schools and theatre since 2001 and is enjoyed heartily by adults and kids alike. Muckheap tours Regional Victoria with arts2GO October 12 to 30 and then plays at La Mama for Kids on November 21.
