Who’s pulling the strings? The Fratello Marionettes, well known and well-loved in San Francisco, bring back the art of the marionette puppetry and their classic storytelling to the Festival. The Carnival of the Animals features 3 well known tales - the 'Three Little Pigs', the 'Tortoise and the Hare', and the 'Ugly Duckling' -with the background of the music of Saint-Saens. Utilizing a unique performance style, the puppet and puppeteer are seen in full view of the audience on a raised stage. This is a perfect vehicle for The Fratello Marionettes to both educate and delight.
This program is part of the Performing Arts Festival. It is an annual event featuring puppets, music, and live performances in libraries throughout the city.
