AgostinoArts - Transformation Show

A world of stories comes to life on the faces of the audience.	In his series of Transformation! Shows, Christopher Agostino presents traditional folktales and his original stories — illustrated by his amazing facepainting on the faces of audience volunteers. In a playful storytelling style combined with mask and makeup art from the same world cultures that tell such tales, he creates a unique performance to completely engage any audience. It’s a surprising and delightful performance for festivals, events, schools and theaters. A wide repertoire of tales lets him tailor performances for children, adults and family audiences, in large or intimate settings.
Part of being human is to dream of being more. Our imagination is boundless, brought to life through the art we create and the stories we tell. Our art is the mark of our humanity. All human cultures have used art to describe and affect the world and ourselves. This is the art of tranformation.

featured stories include:

“The Tiger That Went to the House of the Sun”

“Punia and the King of the Sharks”

“Two Lizards on Four Faces”

“Man Meets A Crocodile”

Special thematic story selections are also available, including shows featuring the folktales and face art of specific cultures and, for schools, arts-in-education programs such as “Voices of the Earth — ecology tales” and “Native American Totem Tales.”
