Anywhere

A frozen marionette of the blinded Oedipus, wandering in disgrace with his daughter Antigone, gradually melts into nothingness in this evocative string-puppet work, created by Élise Vigneron and Hélène Barreau for France's Théâtre de l’Entrouvert. Inspired by Henry Bauchau's novel Oedipus on the Road, the piece has been adapted for an American production—performed by Mark Blashford and Ashwaty Chennat—that premiered at the 2023 Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival and is making its New York debut under the aegis of HERE's Dream Music Puppetry Program.
