If you are at all able to go see the San Francisco Fringe Festival this year, my suggestion for one of the performances to see is Brace Yourself.

Using only shoes, wheels, a purse, and her father's actual leg brace, Wetzel and her puppetry ensemble create a simple yet whimsical story of one man's life with polio. Through movement, lighting, shadows, and sounds, Lunatique Fantastique draws playful, poignant, and powerful images out of the objects and puts them into the minds of its audience.

It is truly amazing and moving.
