Hard Headed Heart: A Neighborhood Tour
A trio of solo shows performed in one magical evening
"St. James Infirmary" - Based on the traditional New Orleans folksong, this show is performed with rod marionettes, a motorized paper scroll and a one-man pit band.
"The Puppet Show of Don CristobalÂÂÂ" A script by Federico Garcia Lorca. This play is a bawdy telling of the traditional trickster Cristobal's wooing and marriage to the delectable Dona Rosita and performed with wooden hand puppets and a drum kit.
"The Blackbird" is based on Wallace Steven's "13 ways of Looking at a Blackbird." "The Blackbird" is a shadow puppet show performed on a set of four rolling paper scrolls lit by lamplight.
