Coincidence is one of the most beautiful things about traveling. Here I was at this magical purple home in New Orleans, hosted thru couchsurfing by random people who I was already thinking of as friends and overhearing conversations of puppets. I jump into the conversation, engaging Rhe in puppet talk. She proceeded to detail some gorgeous puppet events she’d seen and taken part in. Then she mentioned that tomorrow she’d be moving the puppets and set pieces to a new warehouse location where
the Black Forest Fancies would be remounting one of their shows:
The Pomology of Sweetness and Light.
I offered my services as an excellent mover of all things and went to meet the U-haul and the other puppeteers at their homebase.
Meeting these inspirational characters of both the human variety and the puppet variety was a highlight of New Orleans and my trip thus far.
Please check out their website, because they describe the essence of their show better than I could ever hope to.
