Street of Crocodiles background

Street of Crocodiles

Inside a box full of curio, a puppet who is recently freed from his strings explores a dusty and forlorn commercial area. The explorer becomes ensnared into miniature tailor shop by baby-faced dolls.

Adapted from Polish writer Bruno Schulz's book, Stephen Quay and Timothy Quay's cornucopia of eerie enchantment portrays a dark underworld that envelops an emaciated puppet. More and more, a stringless marionette wanders deeper and deeper into this desolate realm of strange mechanical rituals, only to find itself devoured by carceral isolation. Now, a triplet of sinister female figures watches its every move from afar. Is there an escape from the horrible street of crocodiles?
