Michael Meschke

An established writer goes to the Nobel Prize Banquet in Stockholm. He is a family man. In the background another woman. A suicide attempt. His work is rejected by the publisher.

When the lights dim and the stage is revealed, Meschke channels life through the strings of his puppets, triggering the spiritual connection between the creator and his alter-egos: the charismatic Don Quixote, the loving Penelope, the inquisitive Baptiste, or the mysterious Antigone. THE MAN WHO MADE ANGELS FLY is a poetic story about a master of his craft that has inspired audiences to reflect upon common issues of suffering and the mortal coil. Visionary and un-biographic, imaginary tribute to the puppeteer.

A tragedy by William Shakespeare about King Lear who intends to abdicate, and therefore wants to carve the kingdom up between his three daughters.
