Artist Pablo Cano creates marionettes inspired by Russian Constructivism, Dada, and the Japanese and European traditions of puppetry from found object and debris. These elaborate assemblage sculptures come to life through music and choreography in Cano’s theatrical performances. For his tenth production commissioned by MOCA, Cano will present Viva Vaudeville, a musical marionette fantasy inspired by Vaudeville shows from the turn of the century in New York and Europe. Life-size marionettes and rod puppets will characterize some famous magicians, comics, dancers, singers and acrobats from the golden age of vaudeville. Accompanied by an original score performed by live musicians, and recordings of 1920’s American pop songs, each performance will recreate an actual vaudeville performance.
