The Old Trouts promise to cure fears of death using puppetry*; no more
anxiety about difficult choices, no more dreading birthdays, no more
desperate pleas for immortality through fame, art, or progeny. Through a
collection of famous scenes culled from the absolute best puppet shows in
history, including "Edward’s Last Meal," from The Ballad of Edward Grue by
Norman Strake; "DungBeetle’s Lament," from Flap Flap Flap by Lizzie Fook;
"The Last Dance," from Henrique! by Kevin Farquartson; and the unforgettable
"Bipsy’s Mistake," from Bipsy and Mumu Go to the Zoo by Fun Freddy, the Old
Trouts deconstruct traumatized psyches and reconstruct them so that death
means nothing anymore. In other words, they promise ever-lasting life.
Through a puppet show.  
 
"Famous Puppet Death Scenes is probably the funniest, wisest and most
bizarrely clever show the Calgary collective has ever done — which is saying
a lot, in light of the kind of wonderfully literate, inventive and twisted
stuff the Old Trouts have delighted us with in the past." - Calgary Herald. 
 
Famous Puppet Death Scenes premiered in 2006.
 
The Old Trout Puppet Workshop is a Canadian puppet theatre company, founded
in 1999, dedicated to making professional puppet theatre, for both children
and adults that blurs that distinction. They explore the outer edges of the
puppet medium, and create original, unique, and exuberant art. An Old Trout
show strives for delightful allegory, joyful tragedy, and purity of spirit.
This will be their first visit to Boston.
 
*No money back guarantee if this particular promise not fulfilled.
