The Enchanted Realm of René Magritte

I created shadow puppetry, masks, and a giant fish head for this surreal production on Governors Island summer 2016 with Exquisite Corpse Company.

Inspired by the work of surrealist painter, Rene Magritte, The Enchanted Realm of Rene Magritte featured performance and installation set in an 8 room mansion on Governors Island. Eight playwrights came together to create a beautifully surreal story of love and memory; moving audiences in and out of the various rooms. Magritte’s three panel mural The Enchanted Realm served as the source material for this immersive production.
