Golden Scissor Puppets was founded in a dank Footscray share house in 2018 by a group of friends with no theatrical experience who wanted to reflect the hopelessness of growing up in the climate crisis. Since its inception, GSP has produced two near-sellout shows, run workshops across Melbourne, and toured interstate. Their first show, ANTHROPOCENE19, told the story of a Trump-fueled apocalypse, followed by HELLMOUTH22 which focused on a post-lockdown world obsessed with billionaires. Their third show, MOTUS IN MORTE, is currently in production and will be hitting the stage this October for Fringe. GSP brings punk rock, DIY puppetry to life, appearing in clubs, festivals and events both locally and interstate, they’re aiming to make weird and original theatre and experiences, especially for freaks like us.
