Puppets, Dance and Magic
Sunday, August 17th, 2008The Companie Philippe Genty put on another magical display in Melbourne on Friday night. Anyone having the opportunity should see this troupe . Not so much puppetry but what I call ‘Materials manipulation’. The audience was silent throughout….gob-smacked and awestruck. The sheer beauty of so much of the show, and manipulation of the space, sleight-of-hand, wicked humour and inspired soundtrack blend into a very memorable experience. “Do yourself a favour!”
In the meantime have a look at this….
I think this is one of the saddest things I have ever seen, particularly on repeat viewings. What do you think?
