The Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival continues in the Studebaker with Baxter Theatre and Handspring Puppet Co.: J.M. Coetzee’s Life and Times of Michael K. Performances start tomorrow through the 26th. In this stunning transformation of Nobel Laureate J.M. Coetzee’s Booker Prize-winning novel by the same name, a humble man finds solace in nature as he takes an epic journey through a mythical, war-torn landscape. In search of his mother’s ancestral home, he finds strength in his own humanity and a profound connection to the earth. With puppets by Handspring Puppet Company, known for building the War Horse and Little Amal, Cape Town’s Baxter Theatre brings us a new level of exquisite bunraku-style puppet theater. Escape the cold and witness what critics are calling “a marvel to behold” this week! #studebakertheater #fineartsbuilding #chicago #chicagotheatre #puppet #puppetfestival #chicagopuppetfest
