Sanctum Theatre, in partnership with SGA (Sustainable Gardening Australia), present the Water Wizard and the Compost Queen. These larger than life puppets are two very ancient (and quite tall) Australians who love nothing more than to march in sustainable festivals and parades.

Some days the Water Wizard is made of ice, other days he is steam and others he becomes liquid again. He has spent the past several millennia circulating between Earth, ocean and sky. It is our current draught and global warming plight that has inspired him to take human form and emerge from the Yarra River. He now travels this vast, dry continent educating its’ people in the sensible use of water.

The Compost Queen rules over minions of worms and slaters, a kingdom of compost and regrowth. And for those courageous enough to brave her odious presence, the Compost Queen is a veritable font of wisdom in regards to all things rotten and rotting, (she is certainly also a font of some less savoury emissions!)

To book either or both of these four metre tall puppets for a festival, parade or event… or for further information please contact Lachlan Plain (lachlan@sanctumtheatre.org).

The Water Wizard and Compost Queen were devised by Lachlan Plain in collaboration with SGA.
