Set upon an altar in an ancient temple,
Dragon's Daughter weaves exquisite carved puppets with dynamic masked dance and storytelling in a production that is both solemn and lyrical. The story follows young Gum Lin's departure from her aged grandfather, the trials she experiences on her quest to find the secret lake, her perilous encounter with the Dragon of Greed -- and her friendship with his magical daughter. 1997-2004.

"A
story for our time and all time, Dragon's Daughter soars
with humanity. The work transcends the merely dramatic; its
content
and method achieves a spirituality worthy of its setting."
Times Record
"Dragon's
Daughter is universal, timeless, ageless. Adults will be transformed
to a child's sense of wonder. Yet the approach to the performance
is immensely sophisticated, with robed priestesses clearly
manipulating the pliant puppets. In the best tradition of the
ages, this is theatre of the senses, of ritual and wisdom,
drama and dance, and a story both subtle and compelling that
will reveal itself long after the lights go on."
