About the exhibition:
The Little Theatre of Disease and Desire is new
project by artist Daniel Baker, Artist in Residence at
The Old Operating Theatre Museum and Herb Garret. The
project centres on a paper model theatre, a
contemporary version of the toy theatres that were
popular during the 18th and early 19th Century in
Europe .
Daniel Baker’s theatre has been built to display a
series of scenes from a play entitled The Simbysial
Case. The story of the play is the story of a
disease. The central character is The Patient, a
character called The Doctor often accompanies him, and
together they try to uncover the nature of the strange
illness that The Patient is suffering. The narrative
is a journey of discovery: a voyage of mystery and
danger that never leaves The Patient’s room. On this
journey he meets a cast of unusual characters such as
The Two Headed Leech, The Examinator, The Tiny
Surgeon, and The Flock of Bloodied Aprons.
