Description:
Set against a stunning backdrop of live video and images by painter Wassily Kandinsky, this hip adaptation of a classic Russian tale is told by David Gonzalez, a consummate storyteller who plays every role. Live musicians weave original jazz and Prokofiev's music throughout the words and visions. Filled with comic sparkle, this performance reveals the qualities of innocence and discovery in the characters of princes, frogs, witches, and one very enchanted young lady.
