BODY CONCERT is a hauntingly romantic moving puppet sculpture of muscles, tendons and bone. Achingly animated in an extremely rigorous choreography, Kevin Augustine’s spectacle embraces a pure minimalism as he puppeteers solo-- using his hands, toes and outstretched legs. Inspired by Butoh dance, this hybrid work brings Lone Wolf Tribe’s exquisitely sculpted foam-rubber puppets uniquely to life in a wordless, tender meditation on life’s beautiful impermanence.
