MICHAEL COOPER THE MASKED MARVEL AT VITERBO JAN. 28
LA CROSSE, Wis. – Michael Cooper brings his incredible visual art and virtuoso mime show, Masked Marvels and Wondertales to the Viterbo University Fine Arts Center Main Theatre at 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 28.
Cooper’s “moving sculpture” combines mythical and autobiographical stories of courage and wonder to produce an eye-popping theatrical extravaganza. Featuring his breathtaking handcrafted masks and outlandish stilt dancing, his physical repertoire ranges from the madcap to the sublime. He has performed in over 8,000 shows in theatres, schools, and festivals around the world.
This performance is sponsored by the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Western Wisconsin and Southeastern Minnesota and by the Wisconsin Arts Board. It is part of the Viterbo University Ronald McDonald Arts for Young America Family Series.
