Carnival of the Animals
Performed by Jim Gamble Puppets
Inspired by the Camille Saint-Saens musical score, this rod and string puppet production depicts the composer as a little boy who creates imaginary animals from familiar objects. His pet cat becomes a Drum Major Lion, while his Tinkertoys transform into “Tinkertoysaurus.” This performance emphasizes music education and uses the ‘Curtain of Light’ technique.
