Italy’s Carlo Colla and Sons Marionette Company returns to Spoleto Festival USA (Sleeping Beauty, 2015) with its old-world style of puppetry and enchanting rendition of The Pied Piper of Hamelin. Witness the town’s grape harvest and feast, general mirth, and the appearance of a mysterious visitor and his flute. This well-known fairy tale from the Brothers Grimm weaves its story around the beautifully painted scenes of Saxony, featuring 11 puppeteers manipulating 410 meticulously crafted marionettes—including 300 pesky rats!

1 hour, 30 minutes; performed in English.
