In Manhattan: A Musical Puppetry Play for Adults
Abrons Arts Center presents
Don Cristóbal, Billy-Club Man
A Lorca-inspired musical puppet play
Co-created by Erin Orr and Rima Fand
Puppet Design, Direction & Set Design: Erin Orr / Music: Rima Fand
March 1, 2 @ 8pm
March 2 @ 3pm -- March 3 @ 5pm
TeatroStageFest Talkback**
March 2, following the 3pm performance
**Susana Tubert, TeatroStageFest ED, will moderate a Q&A with co-creators Fand and Orr on the development process that led to this imaginative adaptation of two comedic and surreal puppet plays by Federico García Lorca.
For centuries, Don Cristóbal - the Spanish version of the puppet Punch - has charmed audiences with his drunken, lusty billy-club wielding antics. Through clowning, live music, and experimental shadow, hand, and large figurative puppetry, Don Cristóbal, Billy-Club Man explores the violent appetites of Cristóbal's on-stage persona while revealing his poetic possibilities. .

Little Sugar for the Heart is just what Christina needs when she returns to her mother's home after her fiance decides to call off the wedding. The house, which is more commonly referred to as 309, has four apartments where every family member has once lived. Although Christina arrives broken and disillusioned, she slowly begins to find out that her dramatic aunts are able to instill a sense of hope that "this too shall pass."
