Feist

The riddle solved, many came to The Cameron House a few days ago to see Feist play a secret part. What none of us knew—except for she and hers—is the show was more mysterious than simple ciphers. The ghost of Winston Churchill stopped by, even, and he brusquely said, "[This show] is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma."



As you can see from the photos attached, a shadow of the former Feist played her set inside a paper-stage lantern. The tiny room filled with the passing darkness of cast figures and mysterious light, until a hole was cut in the paper screen by the impish pictured scissors. Out came little hands, passing little lanterns (one after another), until the room was filled with flickering light. These same hands, with more hands, slowly tore down the paper wall and revealed all the mischief-makers huddled on the stage (including musician Afie Jurvanen, shadow-boxer Clea Minaker and tap-dancer Dianne Montgomery).



If you weren't one of the few who came to sit in the audience, Anthony Seck and George Vale each shot tonnes of footage (the second photo of scissor-hands is credited to both these men). I imagine their respective films will show up somewhere soon, in a manner less roundabout than all the stories above.
