kid enkidu

kid enkidu, an epic puppet-poem-mashup, inspired by The Little Prince, The Epic of Gilgamesh and anime films of Miyazake, follows the journey of a mysterious kid hunting for a lost companion. Enkidu searches between veils of the worlds, deciphering shadows and love poem patterns of nature to unlock the imagination, unfold the heart, free the spirit, and find the beloved. This re-creation myth explores the spirit-bridge connecting the world of human imagination and the natural world using puppets, animated poetry, projections and live acoustic-electronica music by Tom Woodling with production help from Martin Dosh. Performers- Seth Eberle, Eben Kowler, Angela Olsen, and Blake Love. Co-produced by hinterhands puppet company and In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre. Written and directed by Bart Buch.
