Alice or the Red King’s Dream, presented by Dream Tale Puppets 1pm, in the Battell Chapel at the Norfolk Church of Christ.
As two vagabond-like characters banter and tease each other, they find and bring to life a puppet of a little girl. They call her Alice and set her on a journey to find her lost kitten. Alice enters a world of puzzles inhabited by talking flowers and a collection of characters from Lewis Carroll’s stories. Each of Alice’s encounters, some nonsensical, some funny, challenges her sense of reality and sense of self. But she has to find her lost kitten and by pursuing her goal she moves on, overcomes doubts, and at the end even defeats the most frightening creature of the land behind the looking glass — the Jabberwocky dragon.
This show is intended for audiences ages 5 and up, and attendees are invited to stay after the performance to meet the puppeteers and puppets. Please register below.
