CenterArts presents Imago Theatres Biglittlethings on Tuesday, January 6th at 7 p.m. in the Van Duzer Theatre, HSU. The latest creation from the award-winning Imago Theatre, Biglittlethings is a visually stunning mask-and-movement spectacle set in a fantastic world where seeing is not necessarily believing. Wearing elaborate masks and costumes (but without speaking a word), six performers conjure up a stage full of magical critters and creatures. A feast for the eyes, a twister for the mind, and a bundle of laughs for all ages! Tickets are $25 general, $20 Senior/Child and $15 HSU students. Tickets are available at the University Ticket Office at HSU or at centerarts.humboldt.edu.
A spectacular program of unique images and creative critters, Imago's presentation will surprise kids from 3 to 103. Arms are really legs, up is down and back is front in this presentation. Entertaining since 1978, co-founders and directors Carol Triffle and Jerry Mouawad draw upon their training in the Jacque LeCoq method to create characters that are both fantastic and touchingly human.
In addition to being adept in theatrical movement, Triffle and Mouawad are also talented in the plastic arts. Using any and all materials, the pair create masks that defy definition, incorporating not only the face but the body as well. Additional use of music and multimedia effects combine for a truly unique theatrical experience.
American imagination and flair has allowed this company to travel the world entertaining audiences in Europe, Asia and America with their blend of multimedia and theatrical ingenuity. Their program has drawn the praise of critics from San Francisco to Singapore. The New York Times said Imago's performance left everyone...feeling giggly . The Seattle Post Intelligencer called Imago entrancing and clever, and The Oregonian said, next time (they are) playing within 50 miles, gather up the children and go.
