Tale of A Tiger is a vital hybrid of captivating storytelling and physical drama about the journey from childhood to adulthood. Created and performed by Rachel Hynes with an unconventional musical score by Ethan Foote, this fairytale tells the story of a solitary young girl who, abandoned by her mother and raised by her cold, embittered father, goes out into the forest and becomes a tiger. Recommended for ages 10 and older.
Also a teaching artist for Encore, Rachel Hynes is an actor, performance artist, director and cabaret artist based in Washington, D.C. Hynes trained in physical and devised theatre at the London International School of Performing Arts and creates storytelling shows, ritual-based, site-specific theatre experiences, performance art spectaculars; lyrical epic dramas; and “wicked little cabaret characters.”
Ethan Foote is a bassist and composer based in Washington, D.C. His original work and his career as a performer have encompassed jazz, folk, classical, and popular idioms, reflecting a breadth of musical interests and tastes. In Tale of a Tiger and Lit, his collaborations with Hynes, he has explored unconventional uses of music within the context of theatrical performance and visual media in an attempt to break new aesthetic ground for performed music, interdisciplinary art, and the double bass.
