> Poli Dégain "The World's Best Punch and Judy Show"
by Compagnie La Pendue, Herbeys, France
2009-10 New Directions Series
Ages 18 & up ONLY
Two puppeteers on the run are bringing with them a massive weapon of hilarity:
they draw Polichinelle, the most famous puppet in the world and, with
unbridled enthusiasm, get ready to perform a show of which exceptional
qualities they have proclaimed. But, as planned, nothing goes as planned.
Welcome to the hilarious frenzy of a new version of Polichinelle where
he appears in his most wild outburst, in an explosive rhythm, provoking
roars of laughter. Because Polichinelle laughs at everything. Death included.
Join us for Footnotes, a "talk-back" session between the
audience and artists, following the 8pm performance on Friday, July 24.
Beer & Wine Cash Bar - Friday-Saturday evenings
