Of Monsters and Mountains
Original avant-garde puppet show returns to Northern Colorado.
What happens when you procrastinate with laundry? What do you wish for when you catch a magical golden fish? How did the Horsetooth Rock obtain its unique shape? Local puppetmaster, writer, and director Brett Sylvia brings to life the answers in a one-hour avant-garde puppet play featuring over 40 puppets of six different types - marionette, sock, shadow, rod, hand, and body puppets.
The family friendly "monsters and Mountains" is comprised of an all-original story "Magda the Laundry Monster," a European folk tale of the "Golden Fish," and the local Arapaho legend of "Maunumoku" and the story of Horsetooth Mountain.
After working for Disney for seven years as puppeteer and costume performer, Brett created and performed his original puppets in a variety of locations throughout New England - including King Richards Faire, Harvard Square, Boston Arts Festival - before relocating to Northern Colorado in 2016.
