Chicago’s Theater Oobleck presents, Baudelaire in a Box, a serial cantastoria project based on 19th century French poet Charles Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du Mal. Over the course of 7 years (culminating in 2017, the sesquicentennial of Baudelaire’s death), the project will adapt each poem from Les Fleurs du Mal as a unique cantastoria, featuring “crankies” (scrolling images) designed and illustrated by Oobleck founding member Dave Buchen, paired with a musical adaptation.
