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.
"With speech, sound, mime, dance and above all, inspired imagination, Mr. Gonzalez has the gift of creating magical worlds and drawing his audience into them. A palpable delight."
