Rachel Riggs is a British born puppeteer, artist and director . She is presents a one-woman show which combines the very basics of puppetry and object theatre - creating characters from objects such as suitcases, toys, rusty oil cans and teapots - with the latest digital technologies using a tiny digital projector displaying films and images she has animated and edited herself.
The show combines the emotional and spiritual iconography of the heart in art and literature with carefully researched testimonials from real people who have received heart transplants who say they have literally changed since receiving the heart of a complete stranger, and some of the coincidences are so staggering they start to make you believe in 'cellular memory'.
In a highly theatrical series of clever tricks and turns, using the skills of the stage magician, the burlesque dancer, the intimate storyteller and the showmanlike puppeteer, Rachel weaves a spell over her audience that will make the hairs on your neck stand up and amaze you with the power of the human heart.
