E.T.A. Hoffmann’s dark and fantastic holiday tale comes to life through puppetry, music and masks as it returns to the Chicago Cultural Center for the second year.  Abandoning the sometimes predictable and traditional telling of the story, Incurable Theater presents a fresh version of the tale that honors Hoffmann’s vision and explores the darker side of childhood in a performance that is suitable for families of all ages.
