Loren Kahn Puppet & Object Theatre: It’s Time

Using puppets and/or object theatre, a bridge between theatre, visual art and puppetry, Loren Kahn Puppet and Object Theater brings to life a hilarious and magical world, which delights tiny children and provokes reflection in teenagers and grownups. It’s Time is a show based on simplicity and quietness. This short fantasy is about imagination and association of ideas. The scenes are like visual haiku, for that age when each moment is a discovery and magic is in the emotions. The goal was to create a show so quiet that you could hear the babies' reactions. It is 30 minutes of drifting on the stream of thoughts, both before and beyond language. It’s Time is the American cousin of Qui dit gris, a French show created by Therese Angebault and Isabelle Kessler. Object Theater Creator and Director Isabelle Kessler is a talented veteran of European and American theater. She exercises her creative talent with everything from classic stage productions to toddler-friendly romps, to grand street theater involving 15 brides and 22 movie projectors. Loren Kahn started out as an anthropologist, but departed academe in 1973 to travel through the western US, working as a street puppeteer. She never looked back.
