Join us for a very special Celtic inspired story boasting 24 uniquely handcrafted shadow puppets and live singing at PRS!THE CHANGELING SHADOW SHOW – Shadow Puppet Performance by Tania Yager
The Changeling shadow production, by puppetry artist Tania Yager, is a Celtic inspired story of a city couple who moves into the Irish Countryside with their newborn child. Unaware that their new cottage is set on land that is occupied by The Fae, they ignore the advice of neighbors, urging the use of protective charms. When a bereft Faerie Queen spies the child, she instantly becomes enamoured and there is nothing to stop her from easing her own broken heart. This piece boasts 24 uniquely handcrafted shadow puppets, live singing, and a dark tale that is sure to stir audiences of all ages.
Running time: 42 minutes.
Finally, it should be noted that while The Changeling is appropriate for families with children 8 and up, it tackles sophisticated and darker subject matter such as death, loss, and grief.
Artist Bio
Tania L. Yager is a longtime visual/performance artist in San Diego California. Founder, Creative Director, and Lead Fabricator of Twisted Heart Puppetworks, Tania is educated in traditional shadow puppetry, cinematic shadow theater, tabletop and toy theater, traditional Czech marionettes, and the art of cranky theatre. She’s written and performed over 20 original puppet plays. Inspired by fantasy and folklore, Tania has worked passionately to produce original pieces of both long and short form puppetry to stage, screen, backyards, festivals, living rooms and art galleries. Original works throughout the years include “Snake Heart Jack”, “The Night Zoo”, “Fenris Wolf” and “The Forest Wife”. She was commissioned in 2019 to work on the Maori inspired Shadow Opera “He-Portorino” with The San Diego Symphony. Recent successes include winning the 2020 New York Catapult Opera Innovation Award for the collaborative project “HANJO” and debuting her original Norse inspired shadow film “The Horn & The Heart”. In July of 2021 she founded and produced the international shadow puppetry festival Shadows Across the Globe, bringing together shadow puppetry artists from 13 different countries. Tania has worked to educate school children in 3D arts and performed in puppetry slams across the US. A fan of miniatures and shadow theatre, she was a resident Fellow at Virginia Center of Creative Arts in 2022. There, she created the miniature shadow puppetry exhibition “Tales of Min’Umbra” for The Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures in Tucson AZ, where it was displayed from October 2022 to January 2023. She is continuing to tour The Tales of Min’Umbra and The Changeling to locations around the country while she dreams up her next big venture.
