    Thanks for the introduction to Madame & the Bastard Clare!! The staged characters - only partially appearing but described through scenario and props - find a real parallel in our work. And the foley sounds and stop motion techniques are great in this Victorian style surrealism. "cunning and bizarre means", indeed!
