Brilliant projections, realistic animal puppetry, and a cast that seems to do the impossible are currently at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts in Lolita Chakrabarti and Yann Martel's Life of Pi. The production, while a visual wonder to behold, is also one of the most head-scratching and perplexing forms of play to grace a Houston stage this summer.
Lolita Chakrabarti, in her stage adaptation of LIFE OF PI seems to wish for a more delicate balance between the veracity of Pi’s two different tales of his harrowing sea adventure. Yet all the Award-winning artifices of puppetry, lighting, and projection that accompany his more fantastical version make us want to believe Pi’s unrevised story more and more.
