The secret life of marionettes
6 May 2026,
workshop
The House under the Palm Leaf
I’d like to invite you to another Under the Palm Leaf meeting – this time I’ll introduce you to the preparatory work for the puppet film My Life in the Shadow of the Sun, in which the characters are hybrids: half-puppets, half-marionettes.
How do you build a character?
How do you make their eyes come alive?
What gestures can they make?
How will we build the sets?
How will cityscapes be used?
We’ll watch the making of the film Night Herons read scripts, and — for those interested — there will be the opportunity to sew a puppet face.
