UPRISING: the Creation of the
World in Four Parts

by Donovan Zimmerman, Jan Burger

What’s to believe in? The creators of last year’s giant puppet extravaganza, A Very Old Unfinished Story, take you from the first stirrings of the Universe, riddled in raw ene rgy, fire gods and demons to the formation of the Earth and Her garments of green and blue. Watch as giant beasts emerge from the land leading us to “you know who” in all our glory, intelligence, and power. What’s next? We shall see.
