Fire! Blood! Puppet death! Follow the fate of foolish Coyote as he falls for vampy Pandora, a cursed temptress with a taste for dodgy circus performers. Coyote gets drawn deeper into Pandora’s lair of love as each of her lovers dies mid-act. This dark comedic short by Cirque Du Soleil clown Mooky Cornish and performance artist Xstine P. Cook was shot in the beautiful foothills of southern Alberta, combining live-action & puppet sequences to tell Coyote’s sordid tale. A creepy puppet band from hell accompanies a gory feast of accidental deaths performed by stop-motion, shadow, marionette, and hand and rod puppets. Original music by Mooky Cornish. Puppets by Xstine Cook.
