PuppetCinema presents:
Salt of the Earth
Fri, Apr 8, 2016 . 8:00PM
Sat, Apr 9, 2016 . 8:00PM
Venue: Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center. Kogod Theatre, General Admission.
Audience advisories: This performance contains strong language, cigarette smoking, haze, a gunshot sound effect, loud noises and fog.
A thousand pounds of salt become a punishing Middle Eastern desert; plastic tanks barrel down paper streets; and a faceless, nameless puppet emerges a rebel hero in this work by artist Zvi Sahar. Puppetry and hand-painted miniature sets combine with live filmmaking and projected video feeds, as a Lilliputian universe is created and destroyed before our eyes.
In Salt of the Earth, inspired by the bestselling Israeli novel The Road to Ein Harod by Amos Kenan, Sahar and PuppetCinema show us a dystopic world in which our protagonist — fleeing his country’s latest military coup — discovers the meaning of perseverance, survival, and ultimately, freedom.
General Public: Regular: $25, Student: $10.
Beech Tree Puppets presents “The Hollow Stump”
Sunday, March 13, 2016 at 3 pm.
College Park Arts Exchange
Old Parish House, 4711 Knox Road, College Park MD
The Hollow Stump
Seven very different animals seek shelter from the winter cold and snow in a large hollow stump. The cuddly, hand-crafted rod-puppets will enchant any child as the characteristics of each animal are revealed through a unique and descriptive poem and song. When the animals let newcomers enter and the space inside the stump grows tighter, these songs interweave. Adapted from the popular tale, The Mitten, this tale celebrates community, as the animals learn to share one.
Our AHA Kids Series is appropriate for ages 3 and 8 with their parents. This show is FREE and open to the public — Your generous donation to College Park Arts Exchange is always appreciated!
