The Four Lives
Skysaver Productions
Created & Directed by Theodora Skipitares
Music and lyrics by Sxip Shirey
The ancient philosopher Pythagoras believed that each of us experiences four lives: as a mineral, a vegetable, an animal and a human. In this immersive multi-media spectacle, with live music, and several puppets, giant and tiny, the audience moves through different environments, encountering worlds where humans are not the main attraction......Do sheep dream?
