The Reptile Under the Flowers (work-in-progress) Created by Janie Geiser Music by Valerie Opielski Lighting by Brandon Stirling-Baker Presented at the Foshay Masonic Lodge, a co-presentation of The Museum of Jurassic Technology and Automata (May 21-24, 2009)
The Reptile Under the Flowers explores issues of truth and illusion, the relationship between power and love, and the emotional trauma of war. In today's political climate, these issues are constantly in front of our eyes. The Reptile Under the Flowers is a walk-through diorama-performance in 13 scenes, using puppetry, peepshows, mechanical performing objects, miniature projections, and a spinning dollhouse, crumbling in the snow.
