Red Herring Puppet’s production of the popular Italian Christmas story The Legend of La Befana captures the mystery and majesty of the Holiday season as it embodies the spirit of goodness and hope. “Treat yourself, your children, and grandchildren to a totally beautiful creative experience!” (Ann C. Anderson, Letter to the Editor, Asheville Citizen Times)
La Befana is the beloved Italian Santa Claus who offers gifts to all the children of the world. After witnessing a blacklight dream of magical stars, a spectacular procession of animals and a visit from the three Magi, Befana leaves in search of a miraculous child. On her journey during the Year One, she encounters a Celtic bard, an Egyptian priestess, a Buddhist monk, a Chinese merchant, and Mayan Indians. She never finds the Christ child but is content recognizing the goodness in all children.
Carefully crafted in a Byzantine style, La Befana features over 50 hand, rod and shadow puppets and original music by Cathy Riley. Puppeteers are Lisa Sturz and Elysia Hansel.
The award-winning Red Herring Puppets recently relocated to Tucson. They bring four decades of experience in creating puppet shows and performing for feature films, theatrical collaborations, educational environments and special events. Lisa Sturz, Artistic Director has worked with Jim Henson Productions, Lucasfilm, Disney Imagineering, the Ice Capades, Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Field Museum and many more.
