Zoophilic Follies

Puppet Opera
for Timur and the Dime Museum

The adventurous puppet theater company Tandem and groundbreaking glam opera band Timur and the Dime Museum joined forces in Daniel Corral’s new puppet-opera, Zoophilic Follies. With comedic relish, Zoophilic Follies, explores the lesser-known stories about the famed inventor Daedalus and illuminates how technology can give flight to our wildest dreams and grusesome failures. 

Zoophilic Follies premiered at REDCAT in September, 2011. 

Music by Daniel Corral
