Kitsune was delightful! A charming combination of Japanese folklore and an impressive variety of circus and puppetry techniques. Simple and clear storytelling that kids will enjoy while the grown-ups are reeling from the breadth of talent it takes to put this on. Recommended!
This show is absolutely delightful. While the concepts are perhaps aimed at children there is more than enough to keep audience members of all ages enthralled. My three-year-old spent the entire show engaged in awe – but then so did I. The show is very well done, and includes a good variety of puppetry, traditional circus crafts and storytelling which easily draw you in, and hold you it’s enchanting spell for the full 45 minutes. It makes strong use of sound and lighting, along with a polished and well-thought-out script.
In today’s world this show is the perfect chance to suspend time and step back into childhood wonder, even if only for a short time.
