Bisclavret- A Short Medieval Play

The 4th graders have successfully completed their curriculum for this year in History and Bible. So we have decided to put on another puppet show.

Bisclavret (The Werewolf) is adapted from one of the twelve short romances and tales in the twelfth-century Lais of Marie de France. The story uses the folklore of werewolves, a subject of deep fascination of Europeans in the Middle Ages, as a backdrop for a morality tale. Video will be posted next week.

Here are a few photo's today after our rehearsal.
