The idea would be to enlarge such a mobile as the one I saw in the Museum of Modern Art to stage proportions using different
colored objects in motion and then playing lights on the mobile from the wings and elsewhere in the theatre.
It has all the good and bad elements of Anderson's style, including some of his best straight - ahead compositions (the ones with the camera facing perpendicular to a rectangular
object like a wall or train while the characters either look straight ahead or move sideways as the camera tracks with them, often
in slow -
motion) and a vibrant use of
color (including the blues and yellows he also used well
in The Life Aquatic).
