Working with puppeteer Matt Cotten, each composer has selected a traditional Mexican folk tale for inspiration.LIVE SHADOW PUPPETRY BY MATT COTTEN Visual artist Matt Cotten of Puppets Amongus, will present the tales with live shadow puppetry in the Grand Parlor of the historic Scottish Rite Temple as the music plays. Matt has created beautiful storyboards and character designs for each tale, and the composers have scored each one like a silent film.”TICKETS AVAILABLE at www.ChamberLab.org.
