Bizarre!
A Recluse & His Guest
Directed by Pandora Gastelum
@ The Crown and Anchor · 247 Commercial Street
A mysterious woman wrapped in leather, a foreigner in all countries —who knows the language of birds, hounds, and swine—seeks refuge with the town outcast who she bathes, feeds, and perhaps, comes to love.
Staged with actors, marionettes, and shadow puppets by New Orleans Mudlark Theatre in association with Night Shade Shadow Theater, under the direction of Pandora Gastelum, who moved audiences to tears with The Peaceable Kingdom at the 2022 Festival.
