Anigma is the enigmatic guide who beckons
people through the pin-lighted labyrinth of a dozen stations in the show’s
promenade style set up. She comments and questions the show’s action as a third
party viewer, timeless and place-less - a wise-child, encompassing all
ethnicities. Her observations
serve as entries for the audience themselves to ponder what’s going on.
Anigma’s creation had special challenges as
she had to hide a battery-powered speaker in her skirts, wheel smoothly around
the set and be operated by just one puppeteer. After a few topples and tussles with her operator, she has
succeeded in her floating walk and she’s one of my favorite characters.
