Foggy Dog ³⁺

This poetic text, honored with an award for an original puppetry performance idea at a competition held by the LGM in early 2013, takes place on a road junction. The traffic light dictate the mood and direct the steps of passers-by and drivers-by alike. They each carry their fears, needs, prejudices, weaknesses, and wisdoms. In the fog, they can't see the colors of the lights and can't find their way. A cute doggy, made from the fabric of dreams, leads them on paths of unveiling and weaving stronger bonds. The performance upscales its poetry into a melancholy-cheerful clownish carneval, all tied together with stop motion animation. The circusesque coloring of the room and images passes from playful fantasy to the very real. The objects, video, and people in their mutual encounters reveal new insights. Or: Never underestimate others.
