PAPERHAND PUPPET INTERVENTION PARTNERS WITH GRAMMY NOMINEES NNENNA AND PIERCE FREELON & NC POET LAUREATE JAKI SHELTON GREEN ON AMBITIOUS 23RD SUMMER SHOW ‘WHERE OUR SPIRITS RESIDE’ 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Opening Friday August 4th and running through September 24th, Paperhand Puppet Intervention presents, ‘Where Our Spirits Reside’, a giant puppet spectacle production for all ages about: love, memory, loss, transformation, grief, celebration, and ultimately – the strength and resilience we build together to heal. 

Now in its 23rd season, Paperhand is collaborating with 6-time GRAMMY® Award nominee, jazz vocalist and creator of the award-winning podcast Great Grief, Nnenna Freelon, who is the show’s writer and narrator and will be serenading audiences during each performance. Her son, GRAMMY®-nominated children’s musician and author Pierce Freelon joins the cast as composer, performer and puppeteer. The show will feature songs and stories from the Freelons’ joint album titled, AnceStars, and Pierce’s picture book: Daddy and Me: Side by Side. NC Poet Laureate Jaki Shelton Green and Chapel Hill Poet Laureate CJ Suitt are co-writers with Nnenna. 

For 23 years, Paperhand Puppet Intervention has mesmerized audiences with masks, stilts, painted flats, cardboard trickery, illuminated puppets and shadows. All of their art moves and is brought to life with a fantastic score played LIVE by the Paperhand Band! This year’s show will be one of their most ambitious, inviting audiences to see and learn from our ancestors everywhere: those that have come before us, a mighty river, an old tree, a little mushroom, an animal, or even the stars themselves. 

Come pour some creative community gold into the cracks of our somewhat broken world and hearts. All are welcome. You don’t want to miss the magic being generated here.

‘Where Our Spirits Reside’, takes place weekends August 4 through September 17 at the Forest Theatre in Chapel Hill, including Labor Day Monday, and September 22-24 at the NC Museum of Art in Raleigh. Evening shows begin at 7:00 PM with a pre-show act starting each night at 6:20 pm. Matinee shows take place on Sunday, September 10 and September 17 at 3:00 pm, with pre-show acts beginning at 2:20 pm.

The Art and Beauty Around Durham/Raleigh, NC (23/08/24)

I was not blown away by the aesthetic charms of Durham or Raleigh.

Durham was a lot of warehouses. Raleigh was not too pretty.

I drove a little way outside these places to get some decent shots.

At the North Carolina Museum of Art I started to see some beauty.

It was a good walk, felt a little ominous and was packed with art.

Never expected to find this kind of stuff in North Carolina.

This was my favorite, a ruinous pile of metal sitting on the horizon.

Then on to Oakwood Cemetery, which is a Confederate cemetery.

I got lost here. Many unmarked gravestones and gorgeous masonry.

I definitely feel more connected to NC this year.

Having a good vacation… last day though, better make the best of it.

N.C. Wyeth (American, 1882–1945) was an American painter known for his illustrations of The Last of the Mohicans (1826) and Treasure Island (1883). Wyeth’s technique and ability to convey complete narrative scenes using light and color were hallmarks of his best works.

Eight Bells, the title of a famous painting by Winslow Homer, was the name N.C. WYETH gave to the house in Port Clyde that he bought in 1920 as a summer home for himself and his family.  One of the many paintings he made in Maine independent of his illustration commissions, it captures the brilliant sun and puffy white clouds so typical of coastal Maine summer days.

Born Newell Convers Wyeth on October 22, 1882 in Needham, MA, his parents enrolled him in a number of private art classes as a youth. In 1901, he became a pupil of George L. Noyes and year traveled to Wilmington, DE, to study at Howard Pyle’s private art school. Following Pyle’s advice, Wyeth spent the next few years going on painting trips to the American West. Settling in Chadds Ford, PA in 1906, over the decades that followed, the artist worked as an illustrator for Harper & Brothers, Lucky Strike, Coca-Cola, The Saturday Evening Post, and Scribner’s while continuing to produce his own paintings. Wyeth died tragically in a car accident on October 19, 1945 in Chadds Ford, PA. He was survived by his son the painter Andrew Wyeth.
