Ziggurat Theatre Ensemble presents

Fafalo!

Fafalo is a fairy tale for adults about a most unlikely candidate who is crowned king in the mythical kingdom of Galliandra. Using colorful Balinese masks and huge, spectacular puppets to conjure up the excitement and comedy of the circus, Ziggurat Theatre Ensemble creates a vibrant, topsy-turvy world that's as astonishing as it is hilarious. Fafalo is appropriate for adults and kids over the age of 8.

Fully masked throughout the play, six ensemble members - John Achorn, Julia Emelin, Anna Heinl, Li-Ann Lim, Jon Monastero and David Valdez - perform 18 roles in Fafalo. Custom-made masks have been commissioned from Bali, from master mask-maker Nyoman Setiawan.

Fafalo is led by director and playwright Stephen Legawiec, and the mask and movement coach is Dana Wieluns

"Mask is not part of the American popular theater tradition, and audiences rarely get to see fully masked productions by local companies," comments Dana Wieluns. "Mask work is physically and creatively demanding for actors because actors must use their entire bodies to make the mask come alive."
