ORPHEUS ALEXANDER
Born and raised in South Africa, Orpheus is a sculptor and maker creating bold sets and life sized animal puppets. He is also a puppeteer for our street theatre pieces. His most recent puppet creation, a life sized lion, can be seen HERE.
He is fully involved in the theatre making process; from initial idea right through to the final show. Creating the design, practicalities and puppetry alongside the story and script allows the company to work in a fluid, creative and rewarding way.
