The Beast Masquerade Puppet made by the clever @naomioppenheim for @theatrerites #returntotheforest with @gregmaqoma @sadlerswells_east@factory_international@grandtheatrebpl
The photos show how we came up with the concept of a surveillance camera in the museum (which we got 3d printed) which sprouted electric cables as a mane and grows horns.
Manipulated by @uustani & @smnplmr with dancers @mayo_wa0 @foetus and & @b_xoli meeting and dancing with its many transformations.
Come and see the Beast in action next week @sadlerswells_east

Early in the process of making #returntotheforest with @theatrerites , @gregmaqoma and myself asked visual artist and researcher @bunmiagusto to help us design a new Puppet for the production. She introduced us to a new way of imagining the Gelede Mask, part of the Yorubic traditions of Nigeria. We then asked mask maker @alison_duddle to create it in 3 dimensions as a masquerade. We then asked Cuban Yorubic Choreographer and dancer@miguelaltunaga_jr to help animate it. It then became one of the 5 significant museum objects which became the heart of the show’s content, appearing in 4 versions throughout the show. These are a few photo captures of this 2 year process.
