Trick of the Light Theatre: “The Griegol” at The Alden

Trick of the Light Theatre: The GriegolSaturday, March 25, 4 p.m.$15/$10 MCC district residents/$12 seniors and studentsNew Zealands Trick of the Light Theatre shares an eerie, elegant wordless tale about death, love, grief and monsters. After a childs granny passes away, she starts to suspect she is being pursued by the smoke demon shapeshifter from the old womans stories. In the tradition of Spirited Away and Coraline, The Griegol is a mythic, gorgeously rendered dark fantasy for lovers of theater that conjures magic and laughter out of silhouettes, puppetry, live music and animation.Charming, poignant and expertly performed. A unique theatre experience.
