Eric Bass is known the world over for shows that are an inspired mix of tenderness and humor. His exquisitely crafted puppets interact with actors and masks in a startlingly life-like manner. In this New York premiere, which Bass describes as "something like a fairy tale, an old story, a riddle from the past," a puppeteer relentlessly tries to create the ultimate puppet ­ one that will fly. This third and final part of Eric Bass' acclaimed Heaven Trilogy is performed to original music by Charles Dodge.
