The Jabberwock presents Minneapolis-based artist Kit Leffler in *** BEASTS AND BUMPKINS *** a puppetry-based installation and performance, that will premiere 7pm Oct. 20th in Algoma, WI. The piece is a fantasy adventure, based on current locales and politics, about Margie and Eliza, two girls from Algoma, WI who see an ad in the Penninsula Pulse that a new wildlife sanctuary is accepting specimens on Rock Island. Marge and Eliza are collectors or rare orchids and dragonflies and decide to journey to donate some of their prize organisms. Along the way, they run into a karst rock-spirit, Cheetee, who distracts and torments them with spook lights, apparitions of the nearby CAFO-teria, a fish-boil-turned-brawl, and more! The story is loosely based in Kewaunee and Door County, Wisconsin. BEASTS AND BUMPKINS will feature 2D paper-doll-type puppetry in a cantastoria style alongside science-based trickery to keep things lively. It is FREE and FOR ALL AGES, though has a Princess-Bride level of parental advisory (PG-ish) and some adult language.
