This personalized steel creation is not just a prop but also a very diverse spectacle in itself. Albert Hoffman’s Bicycle Trip – the first recorded LSD hallucination, inspired me, as I wanted to create a visually provoking world on stage. While the bicycle was an integral element of the play I directed, “Victoria Station”, it remains a piece of art that can stand alone and be defined with the unlimited creativity it inspires - Alia J.S.

This puppet is an old king, the protagonist in the play I directed “Exit The King”. It is a huge structure that is hollow and made of bamboo. It was important that I use this material as it looks raw and symbolizes the dying character the puppet is portraying. I was inspired by the Broadway production of “War Horse” that used a life size bamboo horse puppet - Caroline Audi
