National Puppetry Festival: SPINOKIO (5P1N0K10) • LIVESTREAM

Using music, video, and magical marionettes, the show spins the story to which its title and Jeghetto’s moniker refer into an Afrofuturist parable about a robot that longs to be a real B boy in a post apocalyptic future. The 5P1N0K10 universe takes the stage. This Hip Hopera created by Jeghetto and cowritten by Pierce Freelon was awarded grants from the Henson Foundation two years in a row.

National Puppetry Festival: PACKRAT by Concrete Temple Theatre • LIVESTREAM

Set deep in the Sagebrush Desert, PACKRAT is a visually stunning puppet play that contemplates humanity’s relationship with the natural world. Puppetry, projections and an original score elegantly come together to shape what The New Times called, “a journey of rescue and redemption…Thoroughly mesmerizing … amazingly expressive.” Inspired by the classic adventure novel, “Watership Down,” PACKRAT follows one peculiar rodent, Bud, who has a penchant for hoarding humankind’s goods.
