Beyond the Beanstalk

Orange County Center for Contemporary Art

Published on April 30, 2009 at 2:41am

Das Puppenspiel takes a step beyond the familiar "Jack and the Beanstalk" to present a series of tales handed down by storytellers over many years. Originating in England and later coming to America and the Appalachian region, "The Jack Tales" feature simple, but clever, Jack, who lands himself into all kinds of adventures in his travels. Large beautifully crafted 'bunraku' style puppets and traditional folk music combine to bring new life to this storytelling tradition.
