  1. A unique #theatrical #performance inspired by #Yiddish #folktales features dead #Jews dancing at a cemetery, a prophet appearing in the form of a bunny rabbit and a stone-munching worm named Shamir. It all takes place within the confines of a 2’ X 4’ box known as a #cranky and it’s coming to #NewYork later this month as part of the International #Puppet #FringeFestival.

    For those unfamiliar with the decidedly low-tech medium, #crankies are portable stages through which a panorama is scrolled by cranking a pair of wooden dowels. The characters and scenery on the scroll are usually accompanied by #narration and #music, in this case a live #klezmer trio. In backlit crankies, #shadowpuppets can also be used for characters.

    The cranky performance of #ShternaandtheLostVoice was created by the #MagidEnsemble, a far-flung interdisciplinary collective that includes a #storyteller, a #graphicartist and three former members of the #Boston klezmer band #Mamaliga."

  2. #27marzo
    Per la giornata nazionale del #teatro, da #Enthymema un saggio sul rapporto tra teatro e #automobile attraverso la lente dei Mobility Studies e dei Performance Studies.

    Si può fare teatro in un’auto? La risposta è sì, e Mobile Thriller ne è la prova!
    Monologo ambientato in un'auto che viaggia sulla tangenziale di #Milano, inizialmente rappresentato in luoghi teatrali tradizionali a Milano e #Glasgow e poi in una vera automobile al #FringeFestival di Edimburgo.
