Pa Joe and the Lion 

Pa Joe and the Lion was a promenade piece at Clumber Park in 2013. Celebration the work of Pa Jo, the show promenaded his Lion coffin he had made through Clumber Park with various characters joining the coffin along the way.

In A group of 5 we built one of three giant carnival style puppets for the show. Our puppet was based around the opera ‘A Soldiers Tale’. Within the story the devil in tempting the soldier, therefore I Had the Idea to create a rucksack that transforms into a devil like creature therefore quite literally the devil on your shoulders. 

The Puppet was a large rucksack with a skeletal figure emerging out of the top, the figure with a helmet on, that the top comes away to leave the brains hanging out of his skull.
