Wise Fool presents
PuppetLOVE! 2006
Shadows, Objects & A Few Naughty Bits
experimental, political & emerging puppetry

April 1st ONLY!!! * Counterpulse Performance Space

PuppetLOVE! brings together the best of West Coast experimental,
political and emerging puppetry. Now in our eighth year, we present
just one night of outstanding new puppetry work primarily from local
Bay Area puppet artists. This year's mini-festival highlights new
directions in shadow puppetry and object theatre and features a rare
appearance of Bay Area's own Wise Fool Puppet Intervention. Also
included will be new short works from Emily Butterfly of the Big
Tadoo Pupept Crew, Christine Marie formerly of Shadowlight
Productions, Il Teatro Calamari and Signal Light Theatre of Portland
Oregon. We also bring you a live puppet auction, intermission food
and entertainment by Jerome Waag of Chez Panisse and surprise guests.
PuppetLOVE! seeks to challenge the perception of puppetry as
artistically insubstantial. Join us as we lead into fantastical
worlds filled with lush visual poetry, complex themes, sharp wit and
dark humor. The work presented is geared for adults but children are
welcome. There will be one segment at the end of the evening that is
not appropriate for children and that will be announced.
