OLTRA MAR PREMIERES AT THE SWEDISH COTTAGE MARIONETTE THEATRE

City Parks Foundation’s Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre and SummerStage Festival present a new commissioned, site-specific work directed, choreographed, and designed by Luca Veggetti. Inspired by and set to the music of celebrated Finnish composer, Kaija Saariaho, Oltra mar fuses dance with traditional and contemporary puppetry in a modern retelling of a medieval tale of idealized love between two people intimately connected, yet separated by the sea. The Swedish Cottage, an historic space that is beloved by generations of children, will be converted into a black box theater for adults for an intimate and immersive performance.

Location: Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre - Central Park, 79th Street and West Drive
