A look inside the acclaimed new theater production of Life of Pi

Finn Caldwell:

And we start with breath to give you emotion.

So, I can be visibly upset just from the way that I'm breathing. And so, again, we use that breath to let the audience understand the emotional state. The great thing about breath is that, ultimately, it allows the puppeteers to communicate with each other without having to talk.

So, if something over there is very frightening, and we're connected together operating a puppet, by the way we breathe in response to that, we can tell what we might be doing next. And so I have taken on the journey of being surprised, to being calm, without having planned it.
