In @angelsbway, the Angel is a messenger from heaven who visits a gay man with AIDS to tell him that he is a prophet. In the production of the 2-part play that’s on Broadway through July 15, the Angel is not an ethereal creature who flies gracefully through the air. Now, when she flies she has 5 bodies, or Angel Shadows, to support her. The Shadows — 3 dancers and 2 puppeteers — are one of the most remarkable elements about this Tony Award-winning production. They’re responsible for propelling the Angel into the air and operating her heavy wings. This Angel is broken down and dusty, wearing a tattered, disintegrating costume. “I had an idea of this clean angel coming from the ceiling,” said Amanda Lawrence, who originated the part in London and performed for weeks in New York. “But she is like a cockroach, she’s an insect, she’s damaged — she’s like his disease.” To make the Angel fly, Robby Graham, who created movement for the production, and Finn Caldwell, the puppetry director, studied the mechanics of bird wings. “We tried to incorporate those principles of biomechanics into the choreography,” Robby said. “We really wanted to create that suspension of disbelief — where you feel she could just fly off into the distance.” @sashafoto took this picture of the Angel taking flight with the help of Angel Shadows.
