In this modern-minded fairy tale, Princess Aja happily contemplates her upcoming marriage to Prince Olaf. Her outlook changes considerably when fire-breathing Wasabi swoops from the sky, reduces the palace to ashes and carries off her betrothed. Find out how the spunky princess, with a little help from her friends, outwits Wasabi to save the day.
Eleven exquisitely crafted marionettes perform amidst sumptuous storybook scenery. A transforming sprite, a fashionable knight and a seven-foot dragon are all featured in this newfangled fable, where both imagination and stage know no boundaries. After the 30-minute performance, No Strings’ puppeteers will host a Q&A session during which everyone can meet the performers and the puppets.
No Strings Marionette Company is a two-puppeteer touring marionette theater that creates performances for family audiences and designs and fashions their own puppet casts. They also teach their craft to a wide range of people through puppet-making workshops and residencies.
