This performance spectacle fuses live music, movement and large-scale puppetry in a deep dive into the checkered history of “America's River”. Giant otters, sturgeons and other inhabitants ply the stage alongside fishermen, steamboat operators and scientists. With whimsy and ingenuity, the show reveals the Hudson River’s complex inner life and chronicles the long struggle to clean up the river.

Performance sponsored by the Green Feather Foundation. Show time TBA. Learn more about the Hudson River Music Festival here.
