Puppet Showplace Theater presents the Boston Premiere of 'Of Bread and Paper' by Finn Campman, Company of Strangers!
Friday and Saturday, November 14 and 15 at 8:00pm
This evocative piece transports audiences to a world made entirely of paper, where a poor refugee with nothing but a round of bread in his pocket tries to find his way home.
Beguiled by a dream of one he loves, he finds himself face to face with a ghostly likeness of his future self.
The tale unfolds in the hands of a mysterious storyteller dressed in a coat of paper, who brings the journey to life using exquisite paper figures, light, and shadow.
Likened to the many-layered narrative of One Thousand and One Nights, this powerful solo performance showcases the incredible talents of award-winning Vermont puppeteer Finn Campman.
About the Artist: Finn Campman studied printmaking and literature at Sarah Lawrence College, and began working with puppets in 1991 when he joined Sandglass Theater.
Since then, he has worked with Roman Paska at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center, taught puppet construction and design in residence at Hamilton College and at Helsinki College of Art and Design.
He taught puppet and object manipulation for six summers at Sandglass Theater’s Summer Theater Institute.
Finn is Co-Artistic director of Company of Strangers, whose production Moth and Moon won an UNIMA Citation of Excellence.
He has toured Scandinavia, Portugal, Hungary, Germany, France, Spain, Turkey and Israel.
Finn Co-directed and Designed Touchstone Theatre’s production of The Little Prince, and was guest video artist and composer in a collaboration with Contemporary Dance Wyoming.
For four years he was an Artist in Residence at The Hall Farm Center for the Arts and Education.
Finn created the video component for the Brattleboro Music Center’s production of Devine Chemistry, and has presented his work in two Puppetry In The Green Mountain Festivals.
Finn recently worked as a guest puppeteer in Patrick Keppel and Brad Kemp’s production of Triangle, and he is currently performing Company of Strangers’ newest production Of Bread and Paper, as well as showing his short films, Revolution, Up, and Beast in the Machine.
