One of the highlights of this Mardi Gras season so far was Theresa Andersson‘s unexpected ride atop a large puppet goose during the Street Parade, due out April 24.

Andersson approached Muses with the idea, then she worked with her husband, puppeteer Arthur Mintz and Jacques Duffourc (who worked with Mintz on The Fantastic Mr. Fox at the CAC), as well as costume designer Ruthie Nicklaus and choreographer Vanessa Van Vrancken to pull the event together.

Here’s footage of last night’s performance of “Fiya’s Gone” on the parade route.
