In a smoky Cabaret bar, cool
music, extraordinarily sensuous and decadent puppets and first
class puppeteers, who occasionally supply ‘body parts’ to
their creations and in a nutshell that is what this show is all
about.
But that is not how it
seems. The well-rehearsed choreography of the master puppeteers
gives these life like few others, the puppets move sensuously when
the music dictates, they react, and in one case attempt to seduce
a member of the audience.
We meet a variety of these
creatures of the night including Kiko the Latino lover, Lorraine
the Diva, Conrad the transvestite, the list is endless.
The three Canadian puppet
masters have created a spectacular show, but, I was fortunate to
be sitting near the front, so could see clearly. I wonder how much
detail could have been seen further back? Also for me if was
slightly too long at 70 minutes, perhaps it was only me though.
So if you fancy seeing these
puppets flying with out strings, make sure you get near the front
so as you miss none of the spectacle.
