On sunday we had the first read- through of the script written by Marc Boutin.
The story is about a young boy, Roch who grows up in a poor inner city neighborhood. His mother works as a prostitute for Alain Grappain who runs his Prostitution business under the guise of a car wash. Roch has no father so he is left alone most days to entertain himself in the streets. There is a group of kids that pick on him, and they collectively play a game "terrorist". Roch often escpaes into his imaginary world fighting monsters and rescuing his mother.
There are many characters, the set is quite elaborate, and the story includes two alternative endings....which the audience decides! Making for a very interesting pupppet show indeed.
We finally have a set venue and schedule. Studio JUSTE POUR RIRE
Performances June 14 - 22 2008 (detail description later)
This week has been very productive. There are 10 completed puppet heads, and most of them have been painted. Etienne has been laboriously constructing the set and I am also just about done the final Papeir mache details of my LARGE puppet heads, that will be worn for promotional purposes.
We have to have the press kit ready for Monday distribution, so we have an exciting photo shoot coming up this weekend.
