Master puppeteer and Guggenheim Fellow Basil Twist’s Petrushka spins new magic around the legendary Petrushka by composer Igor Stravinsky.

Nine hidden puppeteers combine Czech and Japanese puppetry traditions in a tour de force of puppetry technique. The tragic love triangle between three magical puppets; the clown Petrushka, the alluring Ballerina and the dashing Moor, whose stories emerge amidst the swirl of the Russian carnival.

“[A] wondrous, visually opulent puppet version of the Stravinsky-Fokine ballet … in Mr. Twist’s version, puppets play puppets, and when they come to life, they dance. It works perfectly, plunging us directly into the story’s imaginative universe …”
—The New York Times



At the newly restored Paramount Theatre.
