THE CASHORE MARIONETTES
Thursday-Friday, Sept. 23-24, 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, Sept. 25, 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.
“A wonderful world of breath-taking magic is created by one man and his exquisite marionettes.” – Center for Puppetry Arts, Atlanta
“Puppetry purists (and their children) will be entranced by the lifelike delicacy and details of the mastery of this blending of beautiful craftsmanship and artistry with insight and illusion….” – The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE:
Unmatched in artistry, grace and refinement of movement, the internationally acclaimed Cashore Marionettes redefine the art of puppetry. The moving and humorous performance has astounded audiences in Europe, the Far East and across North America including stops at the Kennedy Center, Annenberg Center, Kravis Center, and many others.
In the performance Joseph Cashore presents his collection of marionette masterworks. Characters of depth, integrity and humanity are portrayed in a performance unlike anything else in theater today. The performance is a series of scenes taken from everyday life and set to beautiful music by composers such as Beethoven, Vivaldi, Strauss, and Copland. Through a combination of virtuoso manipulation, humor, pathos, classic music, and poetic insight, The Cashore Marionettes take the audience on a journey that celebrates the richness of life with a powerful, entertaining, surprising, theatrically satisfying, one-of-a-kind event.
The intricate details and quiet performance setting of The Cashore Marionettes are best enjoyed by patrons age 8 and older (age 10 for Life in Motion).
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Joseph Cashore has been performing full-time since 1990 across North America, Europe and Asia. He has received numerous awards including a Pew Charitable Trusts’ Fellowship for Performance Art, based upon his artistic accomplishment. He has also received a Henson Foundation Grant, an award intended to help promote puppetry to adult audiences.
