EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — A very unique musical play that incorporates imaginative and inventive puppeteering is coming to El Paso this weekend for the first time.
Created by Wakka Wakka Productions, a critically acclaimed nonprofit visual theatre company, “Dead as a Dodo” is an internationally acclaimed production that has played across the U.S. and Europe, and it is making a quick stop for one day in the Borderland.
There will be two showings of the play at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 11, at the Plaza Theatre.
According to El Paso Live’s website, this play is about “two skeleton friends, a Dodo and a boy, tirelessly dig for fresh bones. Their ancient skeletal forms are deteriorating, and without them, they will disappear completely. One day, something peculiar happens: The Dodo miraculously sprouts feathers! A wave of transformation begins, shattering the established order of the dead. As the Dodo continues to grow flesh, fear and chaos erupt. The two friends must flee, fighting to stay together as they are drawn into the heart of an epic battle between life and death. Infused with puppetry, humor, and stunning visual effects, Dead as a Dodo is a mesmerizing musical odyssey about survival, transformation, and the power of true friendship.”
