Grandmaster Storyteller David Gonzalez has a knack for cracking up children and parents at once— his fast-paced physical comedy keeps kids rapt, while his clever wordplay and winking sidebars are comic relief for adults. For Aesop Bops!, Gonzalez reinvents classic fables for contemporary audiences—with fresh takes on old characters like the lion in ‘The Lion and the Mouse’ who happens to be a rapper from the Bronx; the investment-savvy fisherman in ‘The Fisherman and his Wife’ and the trash-talking turtle in ‘The Turtle’s Shell.’ Accompanied by jazz pianist Daniel Kelly, Gonzalez brings the stories to the stage with song, dance and a rousing dose of audience participation.
