The Book of Dust.
The Book of Dust- La belle Savage was a production at The Bridge Theatre 2022. It was based on the book by Philip Pullman and directed by Nick Hytner. The deamons were represented through puppetry and I worked with puppetry director Barnaby Dixon, producer Glenn Holberton and graduates from Bournmouth Arts University on the design, fabrication and maintenance of 36 puppets. The design language was inspired by the craft of origami and we lit them from the inside to represent their soul like quality.
“they are a marvel and glow from within like luminous origami. They seem like Jungian projections rather than airy, fantastical creatures.” - The Guardian.
