Fingal libraries have asked me to describe my “Teatrino Meccanico” and its debut performance “City of Lost Trees”. After scrounging a some discarded cardboard boxes from the streets surrounding my dad’s place and spending a lot of time on the roof cutting, painting and draping fabric to give the impression of curtains, I came up with this image. I drew the cogs digitally and added them to the image to hint at the way the theatre will operate. In the end this image wasn’t used, as the creative director preferred an image with no digital additions, which s fair enough. I also decided that operating the cardboard wolf puppet was not going to work for me, and opted to try building a wolf marionette instead.
