The dark tale of We Walk Among You follows a doctor that will stop at nothing to revive his son and reunite his family. While he performs horrifying research at an abandoned hospital (where the only real patient is his wife), a creature from the outside world enters and is discovered to be the missing element.
We Walk Among You began as a devised piece at Humber College in 2010, was workshopped at the Casteliers International Puppetry Festival (MTL), partook in the Cahoots’ HotHouse Playwriting Residency and premiered at the MTL Fringe (pictured- David Chinchilla and Talia Delcogliano- awarded, Top Ten Productions of 2013- garnering the attention of CBC’s Jian Ghomeshi who referred to it as “One of best things [he’s] seen in a long time” on Q)
“We Walk Among You by the Artichoke Heart Collective was outstanding. It was incredibly inventive, with amazing puppets and skilled puppeteers. The show took me into another world, a dark and imaginative place with its own rules. I was surprised by the pathway of the story, and emotionally stirred by sticks, plastic bags and stick-on eyes. I am eagerly awaiting the next production by the Artichoke Heart Collective.”

“Get past your preconceived notions about puppets. Puppets can be as real and as emotionally evocative as any human being, with a rich inner tapestry of complicated motivations like jealousy and ambition.”
-Rachel Levine - CultMTL
