    Basil Twist's back is to the camera holding a blue puppet, blue silky fabric is hanging from the puppet. There is a piece of silky white fabric free flowing next to Basil and the puppet.

    Dartmouth's Department of Theater is thrilled to welcome the accomplished, award-winning Basil Twist, a third-generation master puppeteer and international theater artist. Twist's most recognized work is his one-of-a-kind underwater puppetry show called Symphonie Fantastique (1998). This piece revolves around the powerful use of music, dance, and abstract art helping create an intimate show focused on the five movements of Hector Berlioz's 19th-century classical composition.
