Famous Puppet Death Scenes
My wife and I saw Famous Puppet Death Scenes last night at The Grand in downtown Calgary. I didn't have a clue what to expect from this performance.
It is basically a collection of scenes using puppets and even children's toys. The program said the scenes were collected from a variety of sources around the world. Some are done in french, italian, german, swedish, english, and I'm not even sure what else. They all feature some sort of death or multiple deaths.
It was a good mixture. A bit artsy. There were funny scenes, more serious ones, and some I didn't even understand. Some of the puppets had a lot of detail put into them and looked awesome. There was even one seen where the puppeteer was holding an old woman puppet. He closed her eyes and then slowly moulded her face until she was a beautiful young woman with smooth skin. "Always beautiful" in eyes of the husband? That was my best guess at the message.
Opening night is $50 and it's $40 for other nights which is a little too steep in my opinion. Student tickets are only $20, which is more what this play should be priced at. So for that price, I would definitely recommend it. For anything more, you can go see a more mainstream production at Theatre Calgary.
