This is no ordinary puppet show
January 20, 2011
It’s World City at the Music Center this weekend when the Chen Kuai Le Puppet Theater comes to town, weaving its spell of enchantment through traditional Taiwanese music and puppetry. The troupe is led by Shi-Mei Chiang, Taiwan’s leading female puppeteer, and it’s a family affair: her son and grandson are among the performers keeping alive this ancient art form for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.
They present two free matinee performances on Saturday, January 22 at Disney Hall’s W.M. Keck Foundation Children’s Amphitheatre, but you’ll need to get tickets in advance, starting at 10:00 a.m for the 11:00 a.m. show, and at 11:00 a.m. for the 12:30 p.m. show. Line up outside at Grand Ave. and 2nd Street, near the entrance to the Hall’s outdoor amphitheatre space.
