Charlestown Working Theater to Present The Hinterlands' DREAMTIGERS, 11/7-9

Are you between the ages of 6 and 106? Perfect. Dreamtigers is for you. Dreamtigers uses multiple shadow projection screens, human/puppet interaction, and object manipulation to adapt seminal tales in the Latin American magical realism cannon for family audiences. A live-mixed score enhances to the immersive style of puppetry, creating an eerie environment that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats.

Isabel Funes is a precocious 11 year-old living with her absent-minded father and nutty kid brother. When a plague of nightmares hits, Isabel fights back and life for the trio is changed forever. Dreamtigers blends shadow puppetry, object manipulation, and physical comedy into a breathtaking tale of slumber, alchemy, and dreams made real. Commissioned by PuppetArt (Detroit) in March 2012 and inspired by the work of Jorge Luis Borges, Octavio Paz and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Dreamtigers is performed with three actors, and one technician.
