Matt is currently finishing the creation of a puppet show based on Round Peak Appalachian culture, starring Tommy Jarrell and his sister Julie Jarrell Lyons. Go here for info and tickets: Ain't Heard Tell
Ain't Heard Tell
by Matt Larson and Hannah Rivenburgh
"A
lotta water run over the dam since then, ain't they." So says renowned
Round Peak, North Carolina fiddler Tommy Jarrell. With themes of the
travel of history and transmission of culture, of hardship, resilience
and the humor that results, this crude and careful show integrates live
traditional music, dance, and storytelling into puppetry to dig into the
depth and dirt of Mr. Jarrell and his storytelling sister
Julie--without letting go. Created in collaboration with Director
Masanari Kawahara and fellow performer Rina Rossi.
