LOCATION

East Somerville
Library Courtyard, 115 Broadway

The Puppeteers' Cooperative is a group of artists and puppeteers working
in cities around the nation to create giant puppet parades, pageants, and
ceremonies of celebration and complaint, using simple materials and movements
to build community cardboard extravaganzas. They have worked with groups the
throughout the US and Canada as well as First Night of Boston and First Night
International and with First Night creating both experimental commissioned
parade works and sections, and spirited and colorful community group parade
pieces. Now, they will be bringing their festive pageantry puppetry to the
street of east Somerville. Egyptian Gods will revive briefly to visit the
courtyard of the East Somerville Library. Three giant puppets will dance, shake
hands (or paws, or hoofs), and play with the public through the mystic
intercession of the Puppeteers Cooperative.
