The Galilee Multicultural Theater from Israel will present puppet show “Renaissance Four Seasons Fantasia” in Shenzhen this weekend.
The show tells a story based on the poems written by Antonio Vivaldi in the introduction to his classical music piece “The Four Seasons.”
Little Vivaldi is fascinated by the story his father tells him about young Petrolino the shepherd. The life of Petrolino is interwoven with the changing of the seasons, and his formative years follow the cycle of nature. The room of little Vivaldi becomes the scene of the play. In his imagination, he sees the furniture changing its shape, in a surprising and humoristic manner, with each season. These changes take place before the audience’s eyes.
The play combines puppet theater techniques with live actors, shadow theater and more. The music leads the play and dictates the rhythm and atmosphere of the events.
The Galilee Multicultural Theater was established in 2007. The members of the troupe focus on presenting new visual experiences to the audience through installations and models. The troupe tours the world and major art festivals throughout the year. In addition to performances, the crew also participated in the recording of many educational programs, providing art drama education and language-free performance projects, winning the praise of the majority of families and children’s love.
