    This is a dark fairy tale for kids aged 9 to 90. Pig Iron has teamed up with cartoonist and pioneering puppeteer Beth Nixon, whose fantastical cardboard creations work alongside stop motion animation, live music, and the ensemble’s signature physical style to create a shadowy fairytale land called Flat World—a planar landscape populated by characters whimsical, sinister and as flat as pancakes. With Hinako Arao, Beth Nixon, David Sweeny, and Alex Torra.

Cankerblossom has been developed with the support of the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes a great nation deserves great art; by the William Penn Foundation; and by the Charlotte Cushman Foundation. Cankerblossom was originally workshopped in a residency at La Jolla Playhouse.
