This original spectacle tells the story of a mythical being who brings new growth and change to a world in ruin. While the show borrows its structure from the myth of Perseus and Medusa, this playful and poetic performance flips and scrambles the telling into a celebration of the antihero, offering audiences a story of hope in the face of a shadowy future.

A Gorgon’s Tale features a variety of puppet characters, such as: a prophesying mouse, a two dimensional king, a guiding butterfly and a sneaky pigeon. This performance has almost no dialogue. In the absence of spoken word, the story is told through imagery and an original live score by award winning jazz pianist Behrooz Mihankhah.

Although this puppet show was not specifically designed for children, the sounds and images appeal to the senses of all ages. It runs for approximately 50 minutes.
