About this show
You’re going to die.* Have questions? The osseous oracle has answers! Visit The Augur for an unforgettably macabre and darkly comedic puppetry fortune-telling experience. Each performance is bespoke (and the puppet is built from bones)! After slumbering for thousands of years, The Augur is a misanthropic and ornery oracle with a penchant for ornithological oration. This intimate performance fuses puppetry, improv and the occult. 'The Augur is so very special. Everything you dream of when you think of Fringe.' (Nancy Kenny, Executive Producer of award-winning documentary On The Fringe). Winner: Outstanding Design, Halifax Fringe 2025. *eventually.
