Awarded
the UNIMA-USA Citation of Excellence. Anansi,
Spiderman of Africa! Is a sidesplitting selection
of folktales from Africa starring Anasi the Spider,
whose appetite always overrules his intellect.
Anansi is one of the classic trickster characters
in world folklore. Like his trickster cousins Brer
Rabbit, Raven, and Coyote, Anansi is full of schemes
that often backfire and leave him worse off than
ever. But Anansi never stays down for long--his
vitality and irrepressible sense of fun have kept
him playing tricks for hundreds of years! These
hilarious stories are brought to life by the Crabgrass
Puppet Theatre with a dynamic blend of traditional
African design, infectious music and fabulous puppetry. |
