Puppetry
“(Wolfe Bowart) took me on a visual sensory rollercoaster ride from multiple vantage points where he deconstructed and reconstructed himself with inanimate objects, bringing them to life in a story in such a whimsical manner.” - mizashaid
Puppets populate the stage with Wolfe, a full cast of characters, all taking many different forms, from shadows to towering creatures. A puppeteer gives life on an inanimate object by transferring their energy to it and thus endowing the puppet with movement, character, and voice. The magic of it, is when done skillfully, the audience is convinced of the life, of the anima, in the object.
