Performed by David Gonzalez

In the telling of Orpheus and Eurydice award-winning storyteller David Gonzalez conjures a jazz infused narrative in which Orpheus scat sings, swings and serenades his way through the ordeals of the underworld. The Three Whiskers of the Lion serves up a poignant story of a stepmother’s difficult but rewarding journey from ignorance to compassion experienced in building a new family. Gonzalez’s version is peppered with sassy street vernacular and modern-day references that make this ancient tale come vividly to life for contemporary folk.
