December 10-11 in Hudson, NY, the Hudson Opera House presents "Hudson to China" with music by Park Slope's Bob Goldberg (of Famous Accordian Orchestra fame). Says Goldberg: "I wrote the music and play it, live. I also get to impersonate Nixon. briefly. Come see!"
Hudson to China is a spectacle with projections, puppetry, theatre, and
live music. It parallels three different beings seeking a way to China:
the statue of Henry Hudson that stands in the Bronx, who believes he
has finally found his route to China; a young man, Harry, who dreams of success by literally conquering what he fears: China & its economy, and Hua, a Chinese immigrant, who longs for home.
Hudson to China is an adventure in which the experiences become the destination. On the journey the voyagers and we, the audience, lose our way, finding it just to lose it again, echoing Henry Hudson's voyages and our own lives, searching for the mythical Orient.
