TALES FROM THE TIPPING POINT
A multimedia puppetry performance by Betsy Tobin

$18 General Admission / $15 Students & Seniors / $12 Museum Members

Follow the antics of an unusual storyteller costumed in an odd assortment of recycled materials as she playfully transforms herself, the space, and the materials that surround her and provides a brief history of consumerism. From shadow puppets and magical worlds in plastic, to hand puppets and rod puppets, the sets and characters conjure known and imaginary constellations.

Travel through the cosmos with this quirky guide using only what is at hand to navigate worlds in an inventive DIY performance about sustainability with immersive shadows and video imagery.

The costumes, characters, and sets are all built from recycled and upcycled materials. The performance features music created by Janet Feder which includes the use of recycled/upcycled objects and materials not commonly considered “musical,” revealing properties of beauty often overlooked in day-to-day artifacts.
Betsy Tobin has toured her award-winning performances in festivals, theaters, cultural centers, and museums through Europe and North America. She has also performed in Guinea, Turkey, Bulgaria, and Bali.
