Alonzo's Lullaby
NANA PROJECTS
Fri March 9 - Sun March 11
Gorgeous hand manipulated cut outs tell a tale of madness, passion and intrigue. Inspired by the Hagenback- Wallace Circus train wreck of 1918, this work is performed by three puppeteers (aka lanterneers) who project 2-dimensional images made of plastic and acrylic gels onto a screen with three overhead projectors. Relying on inventive tricks including scrolls of plastic, masking illusions, and faders allow the puppeteers to manipulate the pieces of plastic with a fluidity that is often mistaken for animation. Custom tables hold the overhead projectors and the puppets to allow various animated tricks. With graceful, hand manipulated cutouts and a bold graphic sensibility; this is a unique form of puppetry that in spirit and technique blends the manipulation of objects with the tricks of Victorian Magic Lantern slide shows and brings a modern twist to pre-cinema.
Talk-backs with the artists will be held following each performance.
Alonzo’s Lullaby received the prestigious Union Internationale de la Marionette citation of excellence in puppetry. The show has toured to Atlanta, New Orleans, Washington DC, Baltimore and San Antonio.
Alonzo's Lullaby is being presented as part of QuestFest, a two-week international visual theatre festival. QuestFest features groundbreaking work from exceptional performers and companies dedicated to the use of movement, gesture, and digital media to tell stories. By stripping away the artifice of language, QuestFest builds bridges between disparate communities and cultures.
QuestFest is funded in part by the United States Department of Education, the Herbert Bearman Foundation, the John J. Leidy Foundation, VSA/MetLife Foundation, and Target.
