Alert! Kalk Bay Books & David Krut Publishing are delighted to invite you to the Cape launch of Handspring Puppet Company, edited by Jane Taylor.
From the KBK invite:
The puppetry work of the creators of the Handspring Puppet Company, Adrian Kohler and Basil Jones has been lauded around the world and is now featured in a major new book from David Krut Publishing.
This gorgeous, full-colour book, designed by Ellen Papciak-Rose, is the first major publication on Handspring Puppet Company by a South African publisher.
The book is edited and introduced by the award-winning writer Jane Taylor, and contains essays by rap poet and musician Lesego Rampolokeng, theatre critic Adrienne Sichel, artists William Kentridge and Gerhard Marx, as well as Basil Jones and Adrian Kohler.
The essays are supported by historical photographs of Handspring’s productions as well as beautiful details by photographer John Hodgkiss of many of the puppets made by puppet master Adrian Kohler.
The book will be available in hardback and softcover formats at the Cape Town launch at Kalk Bay Books. We look forward to welcoming you to this significant event.
