- **Event Name**: Tiger Tales by Chinese Theatre Works
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 12:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Tiger Tales is an award-winning production by Chinese Theatre Works that draws on China's two-thousand-year history of shadow puppetry. A wise old Rabbit recounts stories from her eventful life to her young granddaughter—including how she came to be the Prime Minister to Tiger, the ever-hungry jungle king. Four linked tales, using a live storyteller and images based on antique Chinese leather shadow figures, trace Tiger’s sudden rise and disastrous fall and impart humorous lessons on survival for the small and powerless in today’s modern jungle. The stories are based on various old Chinese idioms such as "little doesn’t mean weaker,” “A turtledove takes over the nest of a magpie,” “Creating disaster by raising a Tiger,” and “Escaping from the Tiger’s mouth.” Tiger Tales features an artful blend of Eastern, Western, ancient, and contemporary performance techniques. These performances are co-sponsored by the UConn Asian American Cultural Center.
