Blood From a Turnip
Friday March 18, 2011 at 10pm
Rhode Island’s oldest late night puppet salon!
Enjoy the salon that has lasted longer than some marriages.
SEATS STILL $5, after all these years.
Featuring:
Earmarc’d featuring Lisa Abbatomarco.
Abbatomarco is a veteran puppeteer who has traversed a good portion of the country under guise of mask and paper mache as she has played within the refinery of psyche using text, sound and imagery and movement. Her new piece asks “Who’s which way is the what and where we are wandering when we watch?”. Wow.
The Neckhater by Geppetta.
Geppetta travels from Philadelphia with this piece about a young lad who makes desperate attempts to rid himself of a neck, the consequences of which must be seen to be believed.
Little’s Creatures, a perennial favorite at BfaT for their colorful, quick, and funny pieces brings a new treat from Boston.
A short film by David Leicht to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day
And, as always, charming and personable musical interludes, this time in the form of
ukulele magic by Geppetta
