  • With Singing Bone Medicine Show

    SINGING BONE MEDICINE SHOW

    Singing Bone Medicine Show is a group of puppeteers and performers from Paonia, Colorado.

    Here is their story:

    "There once were two sisters, call them Mythic and Modern. Mythic sang the songs that found resonance in the blood, bone and souls of the “common” folk. Modern chose a prose that appealed to the elites self-serving notions of advancement and progress. One day, jealous of her sister’s love and popularity among the people, Modern killed Mythic, burying her bones high in the hills under a Juniper Tree. With Mythic gone, Modern remade much of the world in her image, fancying herself the New Queen. However, as Modern’s power grew the hearts of the people sank, and in time, they could take no more. It was then that some began digging into the dirt of the subconscious, of dreams, of the umbral hauntings found beneath the Juniper Tree. When they eventually unearthed the old bones of Mythic, those bones began to sing. Their songs revealed Modern’s betrayal and reawakened that deep and resonant hum within the people. The Singing Bone Medicine show is blessed to work with such songs and bones.

    The Singing Bone Medicine Show, as the name would suggest, both digs for and shares with others the living, yet often obscured, “song bones” that are the dreams of the earth given form in the myths, fables, legends and stories of the world’s variegated patchwork of human cultures. Our medium for this work is equally as olden and arcane as the stories themselves– puppetry, the theater of haunted rags where trickster speaks from behind a mask.

    We offer ourselves and the song bones we carry to you."
