The Mannequin Factory & Theatre brings a unique experience to the deeply historic streets of London Bridge. Inspired by the origins of plastic surgery and the eerie phenomenon of the ‘Uncanny Valley’, the programme gives an insight into the world of mannequin production alongside riveting theatre experiences in the building’s two performance spaces. Visitors are encouraged to climb the ramps that surround the glass factory, providing the chance to witness the creation of mannequins, from the production of the initial maquette to the hand-painted details. At the top of the factory, a theatre occupying the top floors hosts audiences for a surreal mannequin production inspired by puppet shows from around the world. Visitors can then descend to the basement to indulge in the surreal theatre space, heightened by soft interiors that adhere to the site’s visceral and bodily design.
