SHOWS
The Lonesome Spectacular
This summer, the Fox & Beggar Theater is hitting the road again in our spectacular GONZAGO Pop-Up Stage, bringing a brand new all-ages circus and puppet show about the challenge of maintaining mental health in the 21st century.
This ensemble-driven production will feature a cast of twelve superhumans and creative oddballs, touring in public spaces from Minneapolis to Detroit in June 2022.
VANAHEIMR
Before the Aesir, there were the Vanir.
A site-specific fusion of revisionist Norse cosmology, Nordic folk music, contemporary ballet, giant puppetry, and fire dancing; VANAHEIMR reimagines the prophecies of Ragnarök from the perspective of the lesser-known tribe of gods and goddesses, the Vanir.
Coming to Minnehaha Falls Regional Park December 2022
GREENWOOD
While journeying home, an errant knight makes camp in a strange forest on the Eve of May. From the Fox & Beggar Theater comes GREENWOOD, an original Gaelic fairy tale exploring cultural trauma work and the cycles of growth, death, and rebirth that unite us all.
