Ship of Fools: A Giant Puppet Odyssey
String and Shadow is back with a new amazing show! In "Ship of Fools: A Giant Puppet Odyssey" 3 mimes set sail from the Port of Styx across the mythical boundary waters connecting the world of the living to the underworld. Aboard a mysteriously sentient ship, they encounter a world of beautiful and strange creatures: hermit crabs carrying houses on their backs, a ghostly humpback whale, and much more. Under layers of colorful fabric and dancing cardboard, Ship of Fools deals with themes of loss and acceptance, depicting a wondrous unknown and speaking to the power of friendship and love. It is brought to life by 3 mimes, 3 musicians, and 6 puppeteers.
Arrive early to get seating, and bring a blanket to sit on. No umbrellas or lawn chairs please! Oh and PLEASE CARPOOL! The parking lot gets full quickly.
