Synopsis: | In Beyond the High Valley, the unlikely combatants are a willful giant condor and an intrepid little hummingbird. At the outset, the condor spies a young woman tending her family's llamas in a meadow. He swoops down from the sky, transforms himself into a dashing lover, and carries her off to a rocky crag. She is eventually rescued by a plucky hummingbird, who turns out to be a creature of dazzling ingenuity. The production will incorporate a range of puppets and other visual elements realized on many different scales, expressing the vast distances, radiant sky, and rugged vertical thrust of the fierce and beautiful highland terrain. Beyond the High Valley is based on a folk story of the Quechua people, descendants of the Incas who inhabit the Andean highlands and tropical regions of Peru | |||||

Synopsis: | adapted from a 15th century French romance about Valentyne, a courageous young fellow initially found as a baby in the forest and raised by King Pepin. Years later, when a ferocious wild man threatens Pepin's domain, the courageous Valentyne sets out to deal with him. Their encounter turns from a battle into the beginning of a friendship, and the wild man is given the name Orson because he was raised by bears. Our two heroes join forces to determine the nature of Valentyne's origins, and along the way meet villains and fools, charming ladies, an ornery giant and a hungry bear. | |||||

Synopsis: | drawn from an Iroquois creation tale in which the Sky Woman falls from the spirit world and lands on the back of a turtle, heralding the beginning of life on land.

The character Sapling creates all the delightful things of the earth, while his brother Flint brings mosquitoes, thorns, and sharp rocks. The abrupt arrival of Hodu'i, a whimsical crackpot who claims to have created it all, spells the readiness of the earth for the arrival of human beings. The production will incorporate many puppets representing the spirits and creatures of this young world. | |||||
