Nagasaki Circus was my experiment with marionettes. The short film was a collaboration between three street performers.  Me, an animator-turned-street artist, Lee Zimmerman, a self-depricating puppeteer, and Martin Ewen (also known as "Lurk"), a surreal, cynical, stilt-walking mime who dances on air.  This story was an entry in his travel journals.  A real day-in-the-life of a cynical, stilt-walking mime.

See his real-life dancing on this behind-the-scenes video:  http://youtu.be/Pczi2Qa0iXc

So, this was the collaborative result of three artists in 2007.
I hope you like it.  Do what you will with it. Sock it to me.

Sincerely, Rachel Peters.
