Live Works: Lali Chetwynd
Lali Chetwynd: The Fall of Man, A Puppet Extravaganza!
The Fall of Man is a temporary installation featuring a puppet show in three acts. As with her previous works, Chetwynd makes all of her costumes, props and scenery by hand. The props are assembled by combining found materials and similarly, Chetwynd‘s narrative structure brings together a number of literary sources including the Bible, the philosophy of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Karl Marx’s Das Kapital. The appearance of this theatre tableaux relates Chetwynd‘s live performances to her practice as a painter, in particular her fantastical series Bat Opera which depicts a stage inhabited by intricately rendered bats.
