Nutcracker Vs. MousekingFrom Nussknacker und Mausekönig by E.T.A. Hoffman, this faithful adaptation tells the rest of the tale behind the ballet: Genocide, revenge, the murderous past of Godpapa Drosselmeyer, and Marie's detection of her toy's true nature. With shadow puppetry and dance, this dark, comic romp tunnels through the annals of innocence to discover maturity in imagination.

"A beautiful. ambitious, and baffling original performance...Quasimondo is the brainchild of Brian Rott. He's gathered a talented troupe of actors, dancers, sculptors, puppeteers and musicians into a truly impressive ensemble."
Jeff Grygny, MILWAUKEE THEATER EXAMINER "While it may have a DIY aesthetic that's as much practical as conceptual, it's one of the most artful shows I've seen in some time... I laughed more watching Nutcracker Vs. MouseKing than I have at anything in months."
