Little Mother
Feathers, fur, skin, or scales?
The tape recorder skips. A memory misfires.
Somewhere a little bird falls from a great height.
A paper tiger crumples in its cage.
A baby is born.
A hermit crab grows too large for his shell.
"Little Mother" is a living silent film for the stagea dark fairytale featuring subtitled live acting, shadow puppetry, and an original score performed by a live chamber ensemble.
Twin Alchemy Collective presents: Little Mother
A new play written and directed by Katie Green
with an original score by Shawn Jones
Assistant Directed by Ben Howell
Featuring musicians from: The Lovely Sparrows, Dana Falconberry, and Mother Falcon.
We hope you'll join us for the (significantly) expanded, revised premiere of "Little Mother" after its 2013 Frontera Fest workshop production:
"Another criminally under-seen play, this short shadow-play penned by Katie Green was one of the most startling presentations this year. A fable full of whimsy, heartbreak, and horror, it uses clever puppetry, and excellent music and sound design, to tell show us dual stories of a young mother pushed to her limits to make ends meet, and a fable of two circus animals, an elephant and a chicken, whose lives change when they come across an abandoned child. The piece flows over one like a passing dream, at times a nightmare, but it's a dream this critic simply didn't want to wake from." - Ryan Johnson of Austin Lifestyle Magazine (named one of the top 10 plays of 2013)
"A dialogue-free evening of R-rated carnal oppression the puppetry was lovely and the score sensualexcellent bandpassionate performers." Jillian Owens, Austin Chronicle
**Strongly recommended for audiences 16+ years**
