Join us for the premiere of a No Strings Marionette Company and Composer Paul Perley collaboration!
Two Performances Saturday, May 18 at 3 pm and 7 pm
An all-ages show, funded in part by a creation grant from The Vermont Arts Council, pairs puppeteers Dan Baginski and Barbara Paulson with composer and conductor Paul Perley. The original musical score provides a magical soundscape to experience the interplay of marionettes and scenery uniquely created to enact the tale of twins Quill and Foyle as they set out to find their life's purpose.
Along the way motives are challenged as they contemplate conferring upon living ecosystems the rights human beings hold for themselves.
In the inviting space of The Phoenix gallery Paul Perley conducts musicians Melissa Perley, Michiko Oishi, Eben Bodach-Turner and Keith Gibson for this unique live performance.
Post-show the audience may remain for a fun encounter to meet the composer, puppeteers, musicians and puppets; learning the secrets of these artists' trades.
