How do you survive when you have to

"diary days" when she hid from the

ironic shuffling between camps to her
lasting legacy today. Inspired by a trip
to The Anne Frank House, associate

death, war or "that poor little girl," but
rather acts as a meditation on hope and
all that is good in humankind. For ages

Combing live and stop action, puppets
and children, 'Anti-Arktikos' follows the
adventures of a young girl "Momo" and
her penguin friend "Pipi", in a land first
identified by early Greek geographers.
Believing that a large continent existed
at the "bottom" of the world to balance
the land they knew about, early Greeks
named this place 'Anti-Arktikos'.
Constructed primarily out of paper,
puppets and set pieces are brought

vividly to life through the camera work

created a fantastical landscape of paper
sculpted glaciers, inhabited by demons,
shamons and a skeptical colony of
penguins. Multiple layers of reality
coexist, as we travel from two to three

giving an uncanny un-rehearsed

Marquis is based on the writings of the

lascivious prison guard (a rat) and the

a job as head of his servant-staff, he is
now persistently trying to obtain the

He keeps finding excuses to delay the
civil part of the wedding of his two

Count and expose his scheming. He
responds by trying to legally compel
Figaro to marry a woman old enough to

Peter and the Wolf is a long-established
classic, but never before has it enjoyed
such an unusual and exciting visual
treatment. This production features
Claudio Abbado, Roy Hudd (as
Prokofiev) and members of the Theatre
de Complicite, and introduces Henry
Feagins as Peter and some fantastic
new Spitting Image puppets. The result
is a delightful visualization of the
Prokofiev Fantasy with Peter Russian composer and his universally

and the Wolf beloved "musical tale." Filled with
hilarious caricature, this PROKOFIEV
FANTASY mixes inspired puppetry with
live action. Behind it is Sting's riveting
narration and, of course, Prokofiev's
immortal music - the "Classical
Symphony" and "Overture on Hebrew
Themes" as well as "Peter and the

Welcome to the Puphedz theatre of the
macabre. A zany troupe of wooden
puppet actors, they journey forth in their
ramshackle theatre-on-wheels bringing
you outrageous versions of classic tales
of terror. In this first outing, they
perform a take on Edgar Allen Poe's
"The Tell-Tale Heart." It is the story of a
young man driven to madness by his
unnatural and torturous obsession with
the deformed eye of the old man with
whom he lives. Of course, it shouldn't

who provides a suitably cantankerous
performance as the old man: Douglas

and its sudden explosion as high art)

Theatre of the Palms
Based on the actual memoirs of Li Tien-
lu, Taiwan's most celebrated puppeteer
and official "national treasure," The
Puppeteer tells the epic tale of one
man's struggle against seemingly
insurmountable adversary. Spanning
the years from Li's birth in 1909 to the
end of Japan's fifty-year occupation of
Taiwan in 1945, this remarkable true
story captures the puppetmaster's
Puppetmaster, The Hsiao-Hsien, Hou hardships as well as the tragic sweep of DVD DVD.0087
the war-torn era. Masterfully directed by
internationally acclaimed filmmaker Hou
Hsiao-hsien (Flowers of Shanghai, A
Time to Live and a Time to Die), the film
skillfully weaves Li's recollections with
dramatic reenactments of the fateful
chapters in his life. The portrait that
emerges reflects the emotionally
complex state of Chinese society during
the first half of the twentieth century.
