puppet play

Hamid Rahmanian has created, designed and directed this theatrical version, which is intended to be a shadow puppet play that feels like immersive cinema.

She met Gelb while rehearsing a puppet play at Carnegie Mellon, thought he was a genius and has worked with him ever since.

“Bill’s 44th” is one of those — a poignant, comic puppet play for grown-ups about a birthday party whose guests fail to appear.

There were no live performances of her immersive puppet play, no passers-by admitted between shows to see her art installation: an intricate replica of a grocery store, made from plastic waste.

Part art installation, part immersive puppet play, “The Plastic Bag Store” was meant to open in March, its space tricked out to look like an eco-warrior parody of a well-stocked grocery.
