Daniel Barash

Overture Center for the Arts presents Daniel Barash on Saturday, November 28 at 9:30 AM, 11 AM and 1PM.  Experience the bold shapes, vivid colors, and dramatic movement of shadow puppetry, an ancient performance art in which the shadows of rod puppets are cast upon a lit screen to other-worldly effect. After introducing traditional shadow puppets from Southeast Asia, Daniel Barash will bring tales from near and far “to life” using shadow puppetry. Employing audience participation throughout the puppetry retellings (children will be called upon to help handle the shadow puppets behind the screen), Daniel will introduce you to this most unique performance art. See you in the land of shadows!

Each Saturday from the end of September through April at 9:30 AM, 11 AM and 1 PM, Overture Center presents Kids in the Rotunda, a series of FREE artistic programs designed for children and families. This popular performing arts series on the Rotunda Stage offers a relaxed, kid-friendly environment in which to enjoy a diverse lineup of local and regional musicians, storytellers, jugglers, theater troupes, magicians and dancers. The 1 PM performances are sign language interpreted.

Kids in the Rotunda is generously sponsored by American Girl's Fund for Children.  Additional funding for Kids in the Rotunda is provided by contributors to the Ovation Fund and also by members of the KIR Club.
