Puppets Forsaken

Puppets Forsaken is a sculpture/sound collaboration between Natali Leduc and David Gifford formed in 2019. Originally inspired by the intonarumori of Futurist Luigi Russolo, author of the manifesto “Art of Noises” 1913, they construct acoustic noise generators that take over rooms and involve audience members, performing for old growth trees that are no longer there, theory symposiums, live radio and noise shows. They also entered a telekinesis competition in which they lost. Currently, Puppets Forsaken are building an operatic condition and envelope space that is the instrument itself, performed by the participants in attendance, called the Noisebau, gratefully acknowledging financial assistance from the Canada Council for the Arts and BC Arts Councils. Through retro-causality they continue to be nostalgic for Futurism.
