“Their captivating combination of dance, puppetry and lighting earned Lightwire a standing ovation.” — TV Guide
Led by Ian Carney and Corbin Popp, Lightwire Theater perform and tell stories without words, instead they use movement and their electroluminescent wire puppetry. The Adventures of Tortoise and Hare starts with Aesop’s classic fable, then continues the story 10 years down the road. Using classical and pop music and dazzling visuals in a pitch-black performance hall, Lightwire Theater brings this classic tale into a brilliant new light.
