The Red Shoes
April 17, 2011
Thanks to your Kickstarter support, the Sky Candy Austin team is working hard to prepare for our debut full-length production. We’re bringing you a cirque noir-style adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairy tale, THE RED SHOES for ONE WEEKEND ONLY May 6 – 8 at the ND.
Conceived and directed by Sky Candy co-founder Chelsea, THE RED SHOES follows the story of a young girl seduced by a pair of red shoes fit for a princess as she descends through the ranks of hell. Aerial acrobats, dancers and puppeteers interpret the classic story through a blend of traditional circus acts like trapeze and aerial silks, dozens of shadow puppets and a single giant marionette.
