Chinese Theatre Works Shadow Puppets – Tiger Tales

May 6, 2017 @ 11:00 am - May 7, 2017 @ 12:00 pm

Celebrate Asian American Heritage Month!
Tiger Tales is an artful fusion of traditional Chinese and contemporary Western shadow theater techniques. A wise old rabbit recounts stories from her eventful life to her young granddaughter– including how she came to be the Prime Minister to Tiger, the ever-hungry jungle king. Four linked tales, using a live storyteller and images based on antique Chinese leather shadow figures, trace Tiger’s sudden rise and disastrous fall and impart humorous lessons on survival for the small and powerless in today’s modern jungle.

After the show, audience members are invited to meet the puppeteers and see how the puppets work.
