Description "Chinese Puzzle" retains the story of Brecht's "The Caucasian Chalk Circle". Told at break neck speed, the play is sheer Footsbarn giving rein to the company's delight in visual clowning. "King Lear" was created collectively by the members of Footsbarn in 1983 in Volterra, Italy. It is a highly animated and visually exciting adaptation of the great Shakespearean play.
