August 1, 7 pm The Free Columbia Puppet Theater is touring around New England performing Momo the Time Titan, a free, open-air puppet show for all ages based on the Children’s Story Momo by Michael Ende.
Momo the Time Titan is an enthralling tale of an orphan girl who has made her home in a ruined amphitheater on the outskirts of a bustling, nameless city. Momo has a unique gift in her presence, troubles become less burdensome, conflicts are resolved, and imaginations take flight. But Momo’s world is threatened when mysterious gray men appear, promising wealth and success to people who hurry through life now, saving time and depositing it in a Timesaving Bank. Realizing that all that is precious – life itself – is at risk, Momo sets out on a perilous mission to defeat the men in gray. This is truly a story for our times, an imaginative fantasy and a tale of suspense with far-reaching implications about the quality of life today. The music is by Don Jamison and the show is directed by John McManus. Bring lawn chairs or blankets. In case of rain call 919-357-7622 one hour before show. Learn more about Free Columbia.
