The Saint Plays is an original puppet drama by Erik Ehn (Adapted and Directed by Alison Heimstead) examining the lives of five saints, whose narratives meld with modern human stories that become broadsided by ecstatic truths. Using masks, puppets, live music, and spoken word, five illuminated vignettes interpret the saints' rebellious and transcendent acts in all of their fatalistic clarity and hallucinatory love.
I was in charge of helping create two of the metallic pieces of two different puppets.
Using found objects I was able to communicate what Alison wanted from her puppetry designs.
