About this Event
About the show:
“PHANTASMAGORIA” is a marionette variety show featuring a rotating cast of
characters all designed, built, and brought to life to an original score by Puppet
Pants. Specializing in marionette making and manipulation, Puppet Pants
delivers a wordless performance that has intrigued and delighted audiences of
all ages and backgrounds across the United States.
The puppeteer performs in full view, but fades into the background as clowns,
monsters, and mysteries amuse and interact with the audience.
“PHANTASMAGORIA” is filled with whimsical acts ranging from endearing to
odd, but always made for all backgrounds and ages to enjoy. Somewhat
circusy, a little edgy but tongue in cheek, and ending with a call to action to
believe in yourself and follow your dreams.
Director’s Note:
“PHANTASMAGORIA” is not a children’s show, but there aren’t any adult
themes, either. It is designed to subvert expectations from a “typical”
marionette variety show and can elicit an impactful emotional response from
audience members. There are themes of European Clown Theater, pantomime,
music and dance, acrobatics, horror, and endearing moments with the audience.
The wordless performance allows audience members to take away their own
interpretations of each piece.
