The Horgles in association with Theatre503 present...
As the harvest approaches, the farmer must choose between returning home to a life of pretence or embracing their true self, whatever the cost. The story follows a wounded deer with a taste for confrontation and a disoriented runaway farmer who no longer recognises themselves. A Xerox of a Deer is a new contemporary puppet play exploring trans identity, isolation, and friendship in rural Ireland.
Cervus is the last of his kind, with his death comes an apocalypse – He wants to die. Troubled with a dark secret. Ída is a farmer trapped in tradition planning to stow away on the cargo train. In the darkest corners of our world, unlikely friendship blooms.
The Horgles are a bold take on puppetry, with the mission being to create earnest and traditional theatre experiences for modern audiences. Founded in 2022 by Irish writer-performers Kyle Moss & Ceilbí.

Ceilbí
Ceilbí is a writer, puppet maker, and visual director from Ireland. Inspired by Saturday Morning Cartoons, their work is frantic, haphazard, and bold. Being trans-non binary themselves, their work revolves around queer and trans stories.
They’ve recently taken part in Orchard Project TV Writer’s Lab in New York City, in 2024, for an original pilot about a puppet orphanage. And had the honour of working alongside Cork Arts Council to bring the first trans-led show to Cork City in 2023.
They are excited to be bringing A Xerox of a Deer to Theatre503, as part of their Edinburgh Fringe Previews
