La MaMa Puppet Series: Week 2

The La MaMa Puppet Series, curated by Denise Greber, continues this week with THE GOD PROJEKT, ECHO IN CAMERA and LA MAMA PUPPET SLAM, as well as Kids programming: GOLDILOCKS & THE THREE BEARS, THE THREE LITTLE PIGS and SQUIRREL STOLE MY UNDERPANTS!
 --- 


THE GOD PROJEKT

Created by Lone Wolf Tribe, conceived by Kevin Augustine, written & directed by Kevin Augustine and Edward Einhorn, in association with Untitled Theater Company #61.

The God Projekt is an interdisciplinary, minimalist extravaganza on religious and secular morality that investigates the historical legacy of monotheism. God (played by Augustine in a full-body “old age” silicone prosthetic) joins a cast of highly realistic, hand-carved puppets inspired by 18th century wax anatomical figures and Old Testament animals and characters to deliver a dynamic interpretation of a deep, contradictory, and ambiguous Almighty.

November 14-24, 2013

ECHO IN CAMERA

Conceived, designed and directed by Roman Paska

Echo in Camera, a co-production of Dead Puppet, the Schauspielhaus Wien and the Grand Théâtre de Luxembourg, explores the relationships between hearing, understanding and identity in a “little mental drama” that recasts the Orpheus legend as an interior journey, tracing the descent of a divided puppet protagonist through a netherworld of his own imagination to retrieve a missing other.

Roman Paska Talks Puppets



Roman Paska's ECHO IN CAMERA begins performances this Friday, November 8th at the Ellen Stewart Theater.  The piece was developed in part at Rober Wilson's Watermill Center in Water Mill, NY in early 2013.

Roman talked to Michelle Trauring for The East Hampton Press while preparing for that workshop.
“The essence of puppetry is the idea of animating a dead thing. Maybe that means that puppetry is always, in some way, an indication of our quest for immortality. It puts it right up there with the big themes.”

You can read the full article HERE

And you can see the premiere of ECHO IN CAMERA through November 17th at La MaMa.

ECHO IN CAMERA

Luminary theatre artist Roman Paska returns to the New York stage with the premiere of Echo in Camera, exploring the relationships between hearing, understanding and identity in a “little mental drama” that recasts the Orpheus legend as the journey of a divided puppet protagonist through the netherworld of his own imagination to retrieve a missing other.

THE ORPHAN CIRCUS


In Les Sages Fous' The Orphan Circus, two junk peddlers create a small circus of visual tableaux evoking the life of a cabaret troupe of derelicts and misfits. This wayward troupe is ruled with an iron fist by the mysterious impresario Monsieur. P.T. Issimo. This is a place where the gruesome become the beauties and even impossible love can be fulfilled. 

The Orphan Circus runs November 7th - 10th at La MaMa's First Floor Theatre.  
Tickets are $18 for adults and $13 for students and seniors.  A limited number of $10 tickets are available, in advance only, as part of La MaMa's 10 @ $10 ticketing initiative.

ARE THEY EDIBLE?

Jeanette Oi-Suk Yew's Are They Edible?, a multi-sensory puppetry performance inspired by Homer’s epics, The Iliad and the Odyssey, takes place in an interactive setting where food consumption is used to engage the audience in a tactile discourse on the relationship between war, heroes, and hunger (or the urge to consume). 
Read our interview with Jeanette here.

Are They Edible? runs November 7th - 10th at The Club at La MaMa.
Tickets are $18 for adults and $13 for students and seniors.  A limited number of $10 tickets are available, in advance only, as part of La MaMa's 10 @ $10 ticketing initiative.
