Subject: [Puptcrit] Blair Thomas in Baltimore in June


I just received notice of this show. I have nothing to do with the 
show, other than passing the info along. I have not seen this 
particular show, but I have seen some of his performances. Creative, 
different, and I don't fully understand them all, but they are usually 
entertaining.

  For those who may be interested, Blair Thomas will be coming to the 
Baltimore, MD area on June 12. This is not you grandchildren's puppet 
show, but if you are interested in something different, check this out.

Blair Thomas: Cabaret of Desire
  World Class Touring Puppet Theater!

   Thu Jun 12 8pm
$15, $12 mbrs
In this gorgeous, hallucinatory show, Buster Keaton flickers on the 
curtains
of an imaginary cabaret, framed by a functioning hurdy-gurdy sculpture 
of
tubas and bicycle parts controlled by the puppeteer with foot pedals. 
Based
on the play/poem Buster Keaton's Stroll, by surrealist poet Federico 
Garcia
Lorca, this production is a comedy of failures chronicling one man's 
pursuit
of love and affection amidst the alienation of a big city. Based in 
Chicago
and coming off a year-long residency at UMD College Park, Thomas was
co-founder of Redmoon Theater, where he established his reputation for
stunning, original visual theater. (Involves partial nudity.)
