PUTNEY — Sandglass Theater presents this season's final performance in the Winter Sunshine Series with shows Saturday, April 6, at 2 and 4 p.m.
Ines Zeller Bass will warm the Sandglass stage with two performances of her acclaimed children's show “Isidor's Cheek.”
Inspired by a character in a German children's book, Isidor is forced out of a gray existence when his cheek runs away and he must search the world for it, entering a land of color and beauty, loneliness and danger.
Bass performs “Isidor's Cheek” on a revolving table filled with all the details of Isidor's miniature world: from his shabby gray house to a forest of apple trees, through an unfriendly city, across a sea of turtles and barracuda, into the world's smallest circus.
The table revolves to bring Isidor home again and to transform his house, his garden, and, indeed, his outlook on life. Isidor himself is barely 5 {1/2} inches tall, an appropriately little hero for a small story with such great heart.
“Isidor's Cheek” won a Citation of Excellence from the Union Internationale de la Marionnette in 1999.
