And after arriving at Make, Believe, Magic: The Worlds of The Jim Henson Company at QAGOMA, I’ll admit, I was a little disappointed.
Not at the exhibition itself, which has been put together with so much love and care. I just hadn’t thought about what I’d actually be walking into. The puppets had become almost these sculptures. Static. I’d been excited for a thing I couldn’t quite have; I wanted the performance.
