Six actors--playing three groups of characters inhabiting three different worlds--use masks, puppets and themselves to create one of the Bard’s most beloved and magical play.As early as October, KLSP engaged Teochew Opera puppeteer, Ling Goh from Penang, to instruct the team on how to manipulate 15-inch tall iron-rod puppets. In the production, these made-of-wood beings will inhabit the dream-inciting magical forest of Oberon and Titania as they fly from place to place, person to person.To shape a different kind of world for the Mechanicals, KLSP collaborates with trance-mask-work exponent, Simone Tani, who is also an instructor. He is UK-based and runs his own theatre company, Teatro Pomodoro. Through this partnership, Simone researches how trance masks can transcend from being a training tool for actors to being within production
