Description Philippe Genty, playing amazing tricks with perspective and scale, took the 1990 Edinburgh Festival by storm with this show, a challenging, disturbing but above all entertaining mixture of puppetry, illusion and live performers.
Driftings is a completely new work from this master of image and illusion, in which Genty jettisons all previous material and creates his most coherent and satisfying work to date. The show is meditative in tone - drifting rom image to image and from one version of reality to another.
"A superb, astonishing spectacle, full of magic and poetry... the looking glass
