When you think of puppetry, you might think of kids, but this tabletop art increasingly serves a more sophisticated audience (or, uh, not — Team America?). For two nights, the international artists assembled for the LA Music Center's youth-oriented Toy Theater Festival sneak out of the dorms and put on grownup shows at REDCAT. The first night features a special live program of puppetry performances, while the second evening offers a rare screening of a transgressive feature-length adaptation of Dante's Inferno, as told through toys, under the creative direction of Sandow Birk, Sean Meredith, Paul Zaloom, and Elyse Pignolet.
