This shared program features artists who use their hands, feet, knees and elbows to create extraordinary puppet theater. Prasanna Rao will perform his delightful show Hand Shadows. New York Magazine says, "When Rao does shadow theater...Picasso, Pollini and Disney are equally present." Joining him are the ever-popular Hugo Suarez and Ines Pasic, who will perform the hit of the 1998 Festival, Short Stories. The Los Angeles Times calls their work "theater-of-marvels."
