Kanopy Dance Company is looking to create a diversion with this surreal production. And we need the diversion. Puppet Master is set in an Alice in Wonderland-like “netherworld” of the peculiar and bizarre, says Kanopy artistic director Robert Cleary. The show follows “Mohawk Man” — a dancer adorned with a multi-colored headpiece — as he is held captive and haunted by the ominous villain “Puppet Master.” Mohawk Man interacts with uncanny China dolls, veiled shrouds, and an eerie Greek chorus set to the sound of symphonic metal band Apocalyptica. Shows at 7 p.m. Oct. 2-3, 4 and 7 p.m. Oct. 4, and 2 p.m Oct. 5.

A glam rock ballet with a trip into the netherworld of enchantment and an invitation for concert goers to join in the fantasy and dress “inspired” as splashy metal stars, opens Kanopy’s 2025/26 season. Choreographed by Robert E. Cleary, it’s the ultimate theatrical experience in visual story telling! Vibe to the energy of animated stage lighting, moodscapes, and other special effects… all synced to unbelievably creative dance moves and the powerful beat of cello metal.
