Stephen Mottram's Organillo tells the story of reproduction. The idea is to represent sex and reproduction in underwater scenes using puppets and mechanical scenery.

It is truly an exquisite experience to witness ovulation, spermatogenesis and egg fertilization in a new light. The simple setting uses music and lighting to communicate the events reasonably well. As a Freudian inspired play, it is both magical and surreal.

However, the occasional falling behind of the recorded background music takes some of the magic away. The audience is also sometimes left in the dark or with a particular routine scene for a tad too long.

Sustaining the whole performance is the music piece composed by Sebastian Castagna for an organillo. This mechanical street organ could not be more fitted to this purpose, not less because of its name. It is cleverly devised (albeit requiring a certain amount of manpower) to churn out music which conveys innocence and calm.

Organillo is an enchanting experience but definitely has room for improvement.
