Basil Twist and his rambunctious puppeteers return to Phoenix for DeFalla’s Master Peter’s Puppet Show, a puppet-opera devoted to the escapades of Don Quixote. Life size puppets interact within a show of shifting realities as Don Quixote’s rescue of a puppet maiden is told through the interplay of fluid scenery and Bunraku-style and rod puppets.
The evening is paired with Mexican composer Silvestre Revueltas’s rhythmic Sensamayá as well as Gabriela Lena Frank’s stunning Leyendas: An Andean Walkabout depicting indigenous Peruvian sounds with authentic folk musicians, Tahuantinsuyo.

REVUELTAS - Sensamayá
FRANK - Leyendas: An Andean Walkabout

This concert is part of the Target World Music Festival.
