Shows for Youth
Quill and Foyle’s Hasty Composure (world premiere)
No Strings Marionette Company and music by Paul Perley
Saturday, May 18, 2024
This new and original all ages show, sponsored in part by a creation grant from The Vermont Arts Council, pairs No Strings Marionette Company with composer and conductor Paul Perley. The marionettes, scenery, and musical compositions specially created to tell the tale of twins Quill and Foyle as they set out to find their life’s purpose. Along the way their motives blur as they question what it means to give other beings and ecosystems the rights humans claim for ourselves. Musicians include cello (Melissa Perley), piano (Michiko Oishi), bass (Eben Bodach-Turner), and percussion – cajon, brushed cymbals (Keith Gibson).
