Digital Performance—David Gonzalez: The Boy Who Could Sing Pictures
This video is part of the Krannert Center Youth Series, bringing arts experiences to students in public, private, and home schools, grades PreK-12.
Acclaimed storyteller David Gonzalez appears in this beautifully filmed version of his new work The Boy Who Could Sing Pictures, adapted from Seymour Leichman’s book. In this story we meet Luca, son of Bustelo-the-jester, who discovers that when he sings for people, spectacular pictures appear in the sky that reflect the truth of the world and people around him. The adventure follows Luca through a summer-long tour of surprises and wonders, and reaches a climax with the command for a royal performance and a fateful encounter with the evil ministers who fear that Luca's songs may reveal too much . . . . Luca learns to trust his talents as he saves the day and the kingdom too!
