A puppet extravaganza that will change your perception of what a Puppet
show is/can be.

*Miniature Curiosa* from Philadelphia joins High Mayhem’s own Flying Wall
Studios (aka Puppet Meat Market)

Clown, archivist, and amateur scientist Albert Billows has built a time
machine.  Mr. Billows requests the presence of an audience on July 17th at
High Mayhem to witness its maiden voyage, *Tonight a Clown Will Time Travel*.
 Please be warned there will be danger, balloon animals, and heartbreak.
 Pittsburg-based puppet company Miniature Curiosa presents this immersive
puppet spectacle for one night only in Santa Fe as part of their North
American tour.  Integrating live-projection technology, the Victorian
pastime of Toy Theater, repurposed overhead projectors and a canopy filled
with LEDs, Tonight a Clown Will Travel Time is not to be missed!

*Tonight a Clown Will Time Travel* is not intended for young audiences.

*Flying Wall Studios*

Sabrina and Damon Griffith, co-founders of Flying Wall Studios (formerly
Puppet Meat Market) began combining years worth of puppet making and
production skills in 2002. Since then, they have made and sold thousands of
puppets as gifts and collectors items, many of which have travelled
internationally. Since their first showing at the Beehive Coffehouse in
Pittsburgh Pa, their work has been seen in craft fairs in New York, art
markets and galleries in Santa Fe NM, The DeYoung Museum in Sanfrancisco,
and in homes throughout the country and abroad.


Creating puppets as a form of playfulness, FWS seeks to engage its viewers
in their own creativity. Often there is only a title or single name given
to a piece. This is to encourage the viewer to create a relationship with
the puppets, creating the puppet’s world and intertwining it with their
own. This is why the artists encourage viewers to play with the puppets on
display rather than simply look upon them as an untouchable work of art.
Every person and every puppet is unique. The combination of personalities,
real and created, makes for endless stories and play, thus personalizing
each individual’s experience.
