Urashima Taro-after show talk

Half an hour talk on the makings of the puppets and what it is like for the puppeteer to work with them, and the challenges of putting the show on with only the actor and director working on the show. 

Urashima Taro

This was an unusual account of the protagonists life story portrayed with puppets, showing the relationship between puppet and human. There was use of many mediums, music, puppetry, projection of images that were hard to act out. What was most impressive was that one person controlled the puppets and they seemed so life like at points I got caught up in the story.
