What can puppetry reveal about music? In a new collaboration with master puppeteer Mark Down and his team at Blind Summit, musicians and puppeteers come together to blend sound and vision, exploring the abstract and the real. 

Through the romance of Schoenberg’s Transfigured Night and its hope for the future, and the mesmerising modern world of Philip Glass, music will breathe life into the puppet. And the puppet, the ideal dancer not bound by the same physical laws as us, will fleetingly reveal to you the composer’s intentions, their ambitions and their ideas. 
 

Programme includes… 
Arnold Schoenberg Verklärte Night (Transfigured Night) 
Philip Glass Symphony No. 3
