Performed in April 2026 at the Hive Collaborative
In the spring of 2026, Razia’s Shadow returned to the stage – with a bigger cast, and brand new puppets and staging!
Razia’s Shadow: A Puppet Rock Opera tells the story of a world divided in two by the selfish actions of the powerful yet insecure Ahrima. After generations of darkness, his descendant Adakias seeks to reunite the two fractured halves and return harmony to the world. It is a fantastical tale told through puppetry and song, full of wild characters & eye-popping spectacle! Music by Forgive Durden. Puppets designed by Marc Berg.
RATING: Almost all ages! Although this is not a kids show, we think anyone ages 6-100 will enjoy it! 🎶 There are a few spooky characters and moments. For more info feel free to send us an email.
All performances took place at THE HIVE COLLABORATIVE. 677 Hamline Ave N, Saint Paul, MN 55104

Reviews
“Razia’s Shadow: A Puppet Rock Opera features the imaginative puppet designs by Marc Berg to create a vibrant, theatrical myth about harmony and heart. This fantastical world is brought to life by a superb team of puppeteers and artists through a spectacle of music and eye popping puppets. Even though I was not familiar with this story at all going in, we still had a fun time seeing how it all worked together, and have since been reliving it by listening to the music!”
