Dramaton: The Painted Rose

"The Painted Rose," is an original rod-puppet opera using life-size rod puppets in a wordless drama about a painter teetering between passion and reality.

The painter does not allow himself to admit the love he holds for Rose, his teacher's daughter. His mounting and stifled desire eventually gives life to a spirit borne from the student's paintings. This embodiment of the unfulfilled captures Rose and returns to the canvas with her, leaving the painter at a crossroads of reality and imagination...and the choice to realize his love or let it slip away.

"The Painted Rose: A Puppet Opera" is inspired by a ghost story, "Schalken the Painter", written by JS LeFanu in 1830. The performance creates a surreal world without gravity, inhabited by articulate three foot high rod puppets adorned in flowing silk costumes, operated by shrouded puppeteers and accentuated by handheld fans. The story is conveyed through wordless action, accentuated by a female operatic voice coloring the story with emotional tones and accompanied by an original avant-garde score.
