The Holy Gasp Preview New Southern Gothic Puppet Musical at The Fresh Ideas in Puppetry Conference & Festival June 1st
Out of the Hands of the Wicked will preview June 1st.
"...And the Lord Hath Taken Away" is anchored in Hackman's own journey through grief.
"Out of the Hands of the Wicked" is co-composed by lead vocalist Benjamin Hackman who shares his journey of grief through the collection of songs that comprise "...And the Lord Hath Taken Away", released April 7, 2023.
The Fresh Ideas in Puppetry Festival, held online on June 1st and at the Puppetmonger Studio in Toronto on June 2nd, is known for showcasing artists taking new and ground-breaking directions in puppetry. It is an event for exciting innovations and explorations, presentations and performances, demonstrations and discussions. A stimulating event for everyone interested in current developments in puppetry.
"Out of the Hands of the Wicked" tells the unfortunate Old Pa, who, following a harrowing journey home from hell, boasts of his triumph over evil, and how he came to lock the devil in his heart. Now, against the protests of his family, Pa must return from whence he came to save the ones he loves from the hands of the wicked. In the words of lead singer and co-composer Benjamin Hackman, “Of all the odd projects The Holy Gasp has put into this world, Out of the Hands of the Wicked may be the oddest. I’ve got the puppets with me now. I wish I didn’t. They shake me to my core.”
