Puppetworks Presents THE JUNGLE BOOK, 5/5-8/19
Puppetworks has announced the spring/summer presentation in its Brooklyn theatre: A marionette presentation of Rudyard Kipling's 1893-94 Fables of India, "The Jungle Book."
Adapted by Puppetworks' artistic director, Nicolas Coppola, with Adam Kilgour, "The Jungle Book" tells the tale of Mowgli, a little boy lost in the jungle of India and adopted by a family of wolves. Hunted by Shere Khan, a fierce bengal tiger, Mowgli is taught the laws of the jungle by his teacher, Baloo, a brown bear. Some of Mowgli's adventures involve Kikki and Tikk - The Monkey Folk, Nag - the cobra, and Hathi - the elephant. Puppetworks' production features an original song score with scenery and costumes based on authentic motifs of India.
