This performance by the David Simpich Marionettes of Colorado Springs, CO is based on Stravinsky’s suite and it is about a young Prince Ivan who is ordered by his father the Tsar to seek The Firebird. It is a beautiful yet untouchable animal of legend. His pursuit is flooded by covetous siblings and deceptions, as he also tries to rescue an irresistible, vulnerable princess with the help of a heroic friend.
Incorporating elements from many versions of the ancient folktale, this vibrant retelling is inspired by the costumes, architecture and art of old Russia. David Simpich, a four-time winner of the UNIMA-USA Citation of Excellence (the “Oscar” of puppetry), returns to the Center with exquisite puppets, master marionette artistry and amazing character voices.
