The Frisch Marionettes "The Illusion of Life" was created in 2004 and designed specifically for our theater space in Pleasant Ridge, Ohio. The main character is Dr. Coppelius who arrives home on Halloween to find his abode bewitched!
We played heavily with the shifting perceptions one might experience in a dream. Scarves flying outside the window are Spirits dancing. Coppelius discovers one of these scarves that has landed on the sill. Perplexed by how it got there he wipes his brow and puts it into a drawer after all it is a scarf. When the Doctor leaves the room the scarf opens the drawer and escapes the little prison. it is a spirit, a scarf or enchanted scarf all at the same time. Taking the idea a step further, Dr. Coppelius who is a doll maker by trade places a head on his little friend and presto the scarf becomes the character Peek-a-Boo the Ghost
