The Cruel Circus: A Trouble Puppet Show

Salvage Vanguard Theater
Austin , TX

Share this event:

Trouble Puppet Theater Co. presents an original work of puppet theater featuring some of the strangest and most beautiful puppets you'll ever see.

A mysterious tinkerer brings to life an entire world of strange circus performers--some polished and complete, some clumsy and misshapen--then disappears, leaving them to make sense of what they are made for.

A new work of dark whimsy and much laughter from the company who brought Austin award-winning productions of The Jungle, Frankenstein, Riddley Walker, and most recently, Toil & Trouble.

As an alternative, may we recommend Innocent When You Dream, created by Trouble Puppet company member Zeb L. West--playing at the same time, in the studio at the same theater? http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/373628? This play takes place inside the belly of a whale! A castaway has been swallowed and driven mad by only having two books to read. It's an irreverent and silly one-man comedy about getting dragged along rock bottom and figuring out how to get out of the belly of the beast, told through masks, puppets and sea shanties. Two nights only. Directed by Steve Moore. When: May 24th and 25th at 8pm $10
