FREE<\/strong> and open to the public, but ticket required!<\/p>\n Hand to Hand is propelled by 2 giant puppet hands, each the size of a house and rigged like a sailing ship, and music that blows the roof off. The Squonkers, dwarfed by the hands, climb a multi-tiered stage. Music rises from a single finger flicking an organ key, as natural an expression of humanity as a wave or a fist. Squonk’s original progressive rock drives a journey that is spectacular, plaintive, and comic. In this melee, the giant thumbs detach to become truly opposable and challenge each other with guitars.<\/p>\n This is a special performance for working artists and student artists<\/strong>, followed by a workshop on the Squonk Collaborative Arts Process.\u00a0 Squonk Artistic Directors will discuss music collaboration, devised theater, and cross-disciplinary thinking, and share their process for making storyboards for creating performance. <\/em><\/p>\n This engagement of Squonk Opera is funded through the Mid Atlantic Tours program of Mid Atlantic Arts with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.<\/strong><\/p>\n
