The Pomology of Sweetness and Light, follows the tale of Johnny “Appleseed” Chapman, an American folk hero whose wholesome identity is complicated by the esoteric fact of his thwarted engagement to a ten year old girl. Her understanding of the world and Chapman’s philosophy are expressed through puppet craft and acrobatics. Onto the backdrop of the American Eden, the Black Forest Fancies graft the figures of Dionysus and Snow White, of St. Lydwina and the Big Bad Wolf. The scenes are interwoven with an ongoing view of the apple’s journey from precious obscurity to domestic staple on the frontier. They put these fables into conversation to tell a story of misfits seeking their place in the new world.
