I am currently working with Tony Lidington on a Raree man Peepshow project.
I will be designing the peepshow box, cart & internal designs
A bit about the show from Tony:
The
Raree Man
The
peepshow was one of the most popular forms of street entertainment in the 18th
and 19th centuries - not only depicting scenes for amusement, but often as a
medium to educate, showcase exotic locations and inform a captive audience
about key events past and present. We believe this is the perfect medium to
engage with the contemporary passing public– a show that is at once
interruptive and intimate, familiar and unexpected…an immersive experience in
miniature!
The
Raree Show will be
a live performance of a fully mobile, self-contained peepshow for the Twenty-First
Century. The peepshow will display a series of re-imagined automated tales
using pre-cinematic techniques on a contemporary theme. In keeping with
Promenade Promotions’ mission to develop historical popular entertainment forms
and present them in contemporary contexts.
The show will be performed out of doors and the
audience invited to interact with the peepshow by the Raree Man (showman
Tony Lidington) who will narrate and dramatise the peepshow’s scenes
