About The Smell of Elephants...: Teatr Figur of Krakow, Poland makes its US debut with two different shows featured in this year’s Revolutions Festival. (See also Crime and Punishment) Using puppetry, shadow theatre, object manipulation, and physical performance, this ensemble of actors, jugglers and social artists bring to life the story of two men from different worlds finding a way to connect in The Smell of Elephants after the Rain.
