Pontine Theatre presents Puppetkabob TEMPUS CARNIVEIL
Overview
Something wicked creeps beyond the veil and into this world.
Welcome to the Tempus Vorator CarniVEIL hosted by the Zeit Geist, a Spirit with the ability to freeze a moment or someone’s essence in TIME. Does she keep them for her amusement or devour them? Only Time will tell who is really pulling the strings.
The Tempus CarniVEIL blends poetry and puppetry into a sensory feast that blurs the line between abstraction and nostalgia. Its parasol-centric puppets spin cautionary tales filled with danger, while the curtain is pulled away revealing the secret relationship of puppeteer and puppet, while the tantalizing Lady Mai dances the ancestors home.
Come revel in the bewebbed fairgrounds, see the sights, ride the rides - you never know if this time will be your last… your last… your last…
Sarah Frechette, founder of Puppetkabob, is a graduate of the University of Connecticut’s Puppetry Arts Program. She studied marionettes in Germany with legendary Master Puppeteer Albrecht Roser and has performed across the U.S., Canada, Germany, Austria, France and China.
