It’s Time: Book Festival Family Day at the JCC
Loren Kahn Puppet and Object Theatre
SUN, 10/17, 10:30 am, $7.50 members/$10 non-members, Children under 11 are FREE, Ages: 1-5
“It’s Time” is a new theatre production employing objects, sounds, mime and humor for the very young. A character, dressed all in gray, arrives in her workshop. In this quiet gray nest, color is born, feather by feather. A yellow feather: the sunrise? A blue feather: storm of blue sky? Story fragments create a bird, then an egg – what color will it be? Simplicity and tranquility are explored in this performance, which was created for the age when each moment is a discovery and magic is in the emotions. This show is the American cousin of Qui Dit Gris, a French show co-created by Isabelle Kessler, who will perform it.
The performance will last approximately 30 minutes.
Who is Isabelle Kessler? Object Theater Creator and Director Isabelle Kessler is a talented veteran of European and American theater. She exercises her creative talent with everything from classic stage productions to toddler-friendly romps, to grand street theater involving 15 brides and 22 movie projectors. Isabelle started in her native France 25 years ago, and has produced around 40 plays since then.
Loren Kahn Puppet & Object Theatre is based in Albuquerque, but it has performed for every age, venue, and schedule throughout the US, Canada, and Europe.
