Isabelle Kessler performs It's Time
It's Time
A character, dressed all in gray, arrives in her workshop. In this quiet gray nest, color is born, feather by feather. A yellow feather: the sunrise? A blue feather: storm of blue sky? Story fragments create a bird, then an egg -- what color will it be? Simplicity and tranquility are explored in this performance, which was created for the age when each moment is a discovery and magic is in the emotions.

It's Time is a new object theatre production for the very young performed by Isabelle Kessler. It is the American cousin of Qui dit gris, a French show created by Therese Angebault and Isabelle Kessler.

Audience maximum: 30 children (ages 1-3 or 3-5) plus any comfortable number of adults. Running time: approx. 30 minutes

Billy Goat Ballad images
Billy Goat Ballad
Cornebique, a billy goat and big fan of the blues, hits the road, to forget an unrequited love. He finds himself, unexpectedly, in charge of a tiny dormouse, an animal of which he has never heard! Flesh, Weasel, special agent, is on their trail. He means to capture this last remaining male dormouse and reunite him with the sole remaining female, in order to create the world’s biggest corporate food supply for ... weasels.

Adapted from La Ballade de Cornebique by French author Jean Claude Mourlevat.

The set is constructed of a big box, 7 feet long, 6 feet high, and 4 feet deep. A wide window has shutters which magically open and close on universes as different as a sweetheart rendezvous, a desert and a labyrinthian palace.

Billy Goat Ballad is intended for families and elementary school-age audiences. Audience maximum: 100. Running time: 65 minutes.

Audience maximum: 200. Darkness required. 70-minute performance.
