For lovers of the iconic film Labyrinth, here's the latest treat!
The Center for Puppetry Arts is set to launch Jim Henson's Labyrinth: Journey to Goblin City
Exhibit in Atlanta, Georgia.
The exhibit opens on September 2, 2016 and runs until September 3, 2017. Don't miss it!
The Center for Puppetry Arts will launch the Dean Dubose
Smith Special Exhibits Gallery on Friday, September 2 with the world premiere
exhibition of Jim
Henson's Labyrinth: Journey to Goblin City, A 30th Anniversary Celebration.
The collection consists of items that have never been on display, including
Goblin puppets, the plaster casts Hoggle's head and the Worm, along with
numerous weapons and staffs from the final battle sequence.
Also included are
the original set renderings by Elliot Scott and
design drawings by Brian Froud, the well-known English fantasy illustrator who
collaborated with Henson on both Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal.
The exhibit
will feature original costumes and masks, as well as famous iconic artifacts,
including Jareth's crystal balls, David Bowie's
costume and a 13-hour clock.
Designed to be an immersive experience, the exhibit moves
viewers along the journey into the Goblin City and through the creative process
of making the film, from concept to production. The journey begins with
detailed text panels featuring background information on the film. Once inside,
visitors will move through three distinct sections.
The first portion focuses
on the creation of the various worlds inside the film, from puppet building
techniques, design development and original goblin sketches, to puppet plaster
casts and figures.
From there, guests move into the Ballroom scene with its
surreal iconic props, gowns and masks. The last section is devoted to the
film's final battle scene and includes weapons, goblins and original set and
puppet designs.
