Recorded on May 1, 2009.

Flutter into a butterfly’s life! Italian visual theater company Teatro di Piazza D’Occasione returned to the Festival for this show in Spring 2009, best described as a painting in movement. Music, video, images, and dance merged to create a sensory experience depicting a butterfly’s progression from egg to caterpillar to winged beauty. Audience interaction was central to the show experience.
