Polish
Puppet Theatre Troupe Performs at Pomona College
|
 |
The Wroclaw Puppet Theatre from Poland will perform "The
Last Escape,” on Tuesday, November 7 at 8 p.m. at Pomona
College. This troupe will present an avant-garde marionette
performance, making its Los Angeles debut.
The Wroclaw Puppet Theatre has toured worldwide, performing
across Europe, Japan, North and South America. It began in
1936 in Wroclaw giving frequent performances in the regional
towns and villages.
This performance is based on the novels of Polish writer and
artist, Bruno Schulz—best known for the 1933 collection The
Street Of Crocodiles. This production is not aimed at
children. The story in “The Last Escape” centers on Jozef, a
pensioner trying to escape his isolation. Jozef discovers a
corner of his room where time and space are suspended and he
travels back into his mythical childhood memories and
dreams.
This performance is sponsored by The Department of Theatre &
Dance at Pomona College and Theatre for The Claremont
Colleges. This event will be held at Pomona College’s Seaver
Theatre (300 E. Bonita Ave., Claremont). Tickets are free
and available at the Seaver Theatre Box Office. Limit 2
tickets per person. Box office hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Monday through Friday. Contact: (909) 621-8525.
