A puppet-filled family program from Les Délices. No registration required.
A new adaptation of the Grimm fairytale “The Bremen Town Musicians,” The Aesop Project sees four animal friends (a donkey, dog, cat, and bird) assert their freedom and set out on a pilgrimage.
As bestial antics ensue, they share stories of their fellow animals’ griefs and glories (including some of the most beloved Aesop’s Fables) and raise their joyful voices in honor of the harvest moon. With puppets designed by Ian Petroni, an animal-inspired score of Baroque music assembled by Les Délices director Debra Nagy, and a narrative by Ohio poet laureate Dave Lucas, The Aesop Project will delight, inspire, and offer food for thought. Soprano Elena Mullins Bailey is featured alongside a stellar ensemble of Baroque violin, viola da gamba, oboe, recorder, and harpsichord.
