LaBelle, Lost in the World of the Automaton is Imago Theatre‘s April show. It’s the return of a giant artwork of a play presented to amaze and delight children of every age.
The story: On a sea voyage in an engine room of a 1920 steamship, Sam Stoker and Lady Rose travel back to 1740 to retell the classic tale, Beauty and the Beast.
With more than a hundred live action automatons and dazzling effects for the eye, mind, heart and imagination, the story comes to life with puppetry, steampunk themes, shadow theatre, and a multitude of effects, songs, drama and comedy.
Created by Carol Triffle and Jerry Mouawad, LaBelle is intriguing and entertaining. The theatre is at 17 SE 8th, right off Burnside St.
