Prokofiev in Silhouette
September 2025
CATIL Quintet are excited about their upcoming project, 'Prokofiev in Silhouette'. It incorporates our performance of Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf with live shadow puppetry and narration. We can't wait to collaborate with Alicia Britt; pupeteer, director and designer on this project. Click the button bellow to find out more about Alicia!
This project offers a unique and innovative approach to classical music. The combination of wind quintet, live puppetry and narration creates an engaging, immersive experience that appeals to audiences who might not typically attend classical concerts or wind quintet performances. We aim to make classical music accessible, inclusive and exciting for all (children, adults and people from diverse backgrounds).
Reimagining this familiar tale offers an opportunity to present Prokofiev’s music through a fresh perspective. Our original concept of incorporating shadow puppetry will bring the narrative to life, enhancing the audience’s experience. If we were to receive funding for this production, our aim is to help keep the culture of classical music alive and to be enjoyed by the newer generation.
We are currently in the process of attaining funding to get started on this exciting opportunity. Watch this space for future developments. We hope to see you at the launch of 'Prokofiev in Silhouette'!
