When police broke down the door to the Collyer brothers’ Harlem brownstone in 1947 they found over one hundred tons of trash, making Homer and Langley Collyer the world’s most famous hoarders. Junk Palace chronicles the brothers’ last days as recreated by paper puppets moving through handmade sets. The puppets feel real as we see Homer, left blind from a stroke, being cared for by his younger brother, who has built booby traps throughout the mansion to keep the outside world at bay. The tragic and poignant story is brought to life through amazing craftsmanship, technical ability, and artistry.  NT
