    The adventurous puppet theater company Tandem and groundbreaking glam opera band Timur and the Dime Museum joined forces in Daniel Corral’s new puppet-opera, Zoophilic Follies. With comedic relish, Zoophilic Follies, explores the lesser-known stories about the famed inventor Daedalus and illuminates how technology can give flight to our wildest dreams and grusesome failures. 

    Zoophilic Follies premiered at REDCAT in September, 2011. 

    Music by Daniel Corral 
    Directed by Caitlin Lainoff
    Libretto by Sibyl O’Malley

    • 2012 press for Zoophilic Follies

      Times Quotidian: “That he is comfortable drawing from the whole world of music is no surprise given his musical pursuits, nor that the results are entertaining, beautiful, and interesting.”

    • 2011 press for Zoophilic Follies

      LA Stage Times: “We relish the comedy involved, and also pause to consider the transcendent power of hopes so large. 

      Out West Arts: “It is hard to ignore the musical energy of the piece… Zoophilic Follies cries out for further development and performances.” 

      Times Quotidian: “This thrilling, precious project was as entertaining as it was unique, driven by ever-engaging songs, instrumental solos, and tight ensemble playing.”
