Set in an old European opera house during the golden age of Grand Opera, Night at the Grand Opera is a frenzied romp through a candlelit night at the Opera. Rococo extravagance is fashioned with elaborate cardboard sets that collapse and unfold to reveal the many great dramas of the opera house (not all of which happen on stage.) Love triangles, converging revolutionary plots, metamorphosing flies and disaf ected vermin are brought to life with cardboard and paper-mache.
String and Shadow Puppet Theater is a theater company based in Olympia, Washington. With cardboard, fabric, and paper mache, their visually stunning performances incorporate music, dance, and circus arts to tell original stories that engage the imaginations of their audiences.
