         Araneidae Show and Other Pieces, The         Symphonie Fantastique

Araneidae Show and Other Pieces, The

Synopsis:
A solo puppetry extravaganza of showgirls, lonely streets, cats, deconstructing theatre, sex, despair, magic, metamorphosis, and the fragile web if illusion sometimes called 'reality'. From deep inside his puppet stage and himself one lone puppeteer unravels, unveils, and unleashes this vulgar and spectacular story through the power of surreal imagery, baroque machinery, and the heartbreaking tiny gestures of his miniature actors.

Symphonie Fantastique

Synopsis:
A unique and sensational abstract puppetry show, choreographed to the five movements of Hector Berlioz' Symphonie Fantastique. Inside a water-filled, five hundred gallon, glass-walled tank, American puppeteer Basil Twist and his company manipulate fabrics, feathers, glitter, mirrors, dyes, overhead projections, 8mm film, air bubbles and fishing lures. The effect is a mind-boggling kaleidoscope of colour and movement, an ever changing carousel of fabulous images, It's like listening to music with your eyes.

Notes:
part of London International Mime Festival 2001. The first Festival took place at The Cockpit Theatre and Arts Centre, London NW8, in January 1977. In that year the event was called The Cockpit Festival of Mime and Visual Theatre. It is now the longest running festival of its kind in the world.
