Opera Dei Lus. Sicilian tradition is embedded with storytelling from great ancient theatres to oral storytellers on with wooden swords. The isolated and ancient island continues to express it's people's storytelling culture through scenic imagery of historical and mystical conquests in its design and architecture. The Sicilian Marionette, Opera Dei Pupi, is a dying but cherished art at the very centre of storytelling traditions. Opera Dei Lus is a puppet theatre is Ortigia, Sicily that may be used as a repository or archive for stories from the community and a chance to contribute to Sicily's story culture from a personal and contemporary perspective. The theatre is designed around suspension and layered frames designed to distort perceptions of scale- of a puppet, human, and theatre.
