Follow the transformation of a caterpillar from its tiny egg under a milkweed leaf, to its amazing metamorphosis in the chrysalis and emergence as a beautiful monarch butterfly. With her insect companions, she learns about her symbiotic relationship with milkweed, depending on it for food, home and defense against predators. As winter approaches, Monarch Butterfly flies 1,500 miles to Mexico where, in the Spring, she lays her eggs and starts the cycle over again. Hudson Vagabond Puppets, with support from the Jim Henson Foundation, magnifies the microscopic insect world in this unforgettable larger-than-life bunraku-style musical performance.
