Directed by Basil Twist / 2019 

Created for the theater in 1998, Twist’s now-legendary underwater puppet production Symphonie Fantastique is set to composer Hector Berlioz’s signature work and performed in a 1,000-gallon fish tank where seven unseen puppeteers manipulate hundreds of fabrics, feathers, forms, colors, and shapes into a visual extravaganza. 

All ages, but best suited for children 8 and up and adults. 90 min. 

 

Presented in partnership with Cinema Lamont and the Detroit Puppet Company as part of the 2023 Puppet Film Series. 

This program is supported through the generous support of the Dr. Audley M. Grossman and Paul McPharlin Puppetry Funds.
