Note: A post-performance discussion with Joe Goode takes place after both Saturday performances.
With an expert hand, Guggenheim Fellow Joe Goode directs and choreographs Wonderboy, which follows the travails of an unlikely superhero. Dancers move around a puppet protagonist, created and operated by award-winning puppeteer Basil Twist from New York, as Matthias Bossi and Carla Kihlstedt (Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Book of Knots) perform the score. Both musicians are well acquainted with crossed genres and mixed media: Bossi is a spoken-word vet, and Kihlstedt has written music for Butoh performances.
