A Performance for all ages

 

Inspired by the work of American artist Alexander Calder (the inventor of the mobile), this one-man play follows a young artist, Sandy, on his quest to capture his vision of life.  Challenged by his father to create a “masterpiece,” Sandy playfully experiments with drawing, painting and sculpting, accompanied by his puppet-like circus creations - his muse Fioni-of-the-flying-trapeze, his friend Ringmaster Loyal and his foe, Monsieur Critique.  Only when Sandy risks taking his shapes “off the page” does he find his way to the show’s spectacular conclusion -- a mobile, 17 feet across, that suspends into the audience.
