Arm-of-the-Sea Puppet Theater
Tina Chorvas Waterfront Park, Saugerties, NY

Indigenous Theatre under the Open Sky...

Exploring contemporary themes through the ancient traditions of mask and puppet theater. Puppet figures, mask characters and performing objects of all sizes and description will take center stage when Arm-of-the-Sea Theater and friends present their fifth annual Esopus Creek Festival of Mask and Puppet Theater in Saugerties, NY.

The festival is a celebration of puppetry's ancient roots and its emergence as a contemporary performance art form. It features original shows by Arm-of-the-Sea Theater and other theater artists of the region. Arm-of-the-Sea Theater is a not-for-profit organization based in Saugerties, NY, in the beautiful Hudson River Valley.

For over twenty years Arm-of-the-Sea has been developing a style of magical realism that marries the mythic and the everyday, humanity and the earth, visual arts and natural science, poetry and politics.

Our large-scale productions incorporate ancient theatrical devices for shared enchantment and visual storytelling. With music, gesture and stunning visuals, they illuminate the links between human communities and the life-support processes of this living planet.
