A Puppet Show On The Go
Traffic congestion + a white Mazda truck + a few puppets and an FM transmitter =
Mobile Puppet Theater: US 210 Freeway Pasadena, California
Drivers stuck behind this Mazda will be treated to puppet shows that explore themes such as chaos, control, fame, friendship, snobbery, artistic integrity and love.
A radio frequency will also be on display, in which the driver can tune into and listen to the soundtrack of the puppet show on their radios.
Starting roughly at 5 p.m. on designated days, lucky commuters will see the back of the pickup’s shell top swing open to reveal an energetic hand puppet dressed like a heavy metal musician.
If they tune their radios to the frequency written on a cardboard sign on the tailgate, they’ll hear crashing guitar chords and a gravelly announcer’s voice say, “Welcome to ‘Superclogger’!”
What follows are four vignettes: An aging country singer laments the price of success; a naive young boy confronts upper class pretensions in a surreal conversation with a talking shrub; two construction workers shed their tough guy image with a karaoke version of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now”; and an isolated writer sets aside his novel for a lucrative screenplay and love.
