La Luciole

A tiny portable puppet show based on “The Fable of Prince Leo and the Firefly” by Matt Powell. The story speaks of a King, his island, and a firefly that captures his heart. In my reimagining Leo is an agoraphobic writer who ventures into the world of color. Each set is inspired by paper. His bedroom, the city, and the stars of a drag bar, each on the rotating stage. Amidst ceaseless technology and increasing isolation, it's a love story reminding us to live authentically and appreciate the light that surrounds us.
