Airigami to Perform “How to Catch a Mouse” at Palmer Opera House on September 13
The Cuba Circulating Library and the Palmer Opera House regret to announce the cancellation of the performance by Alma de Mexico, originally scheduled for Saturday, September 13.
In its place, the organizations are excited to present a captivating alternative: Airigami will perform their acclaimed show, “How to Catch a Mouse”, on Saturday, September 13, at 1:00 PM at the Palmer Opera House in Cuba, NY.
A Show That Blends Art, Science, and Fun
“How to Catch a Mouse” is more than just a performance—it’s an imaginative exploration of science, art, and problem-solving. Fusing storytelling with an interactive, balloon-based version of a Rube Goldberg machine, the show invites audiences into a whimsical world where creativity meets curiosity.
The goal? To build a complex mouse trap using nothing but balloons—right before your eyes. With enthusiastic audience participation and plenty of moments of discovery, this family-friendly event encourages learning through laughter and hands-on involvement.
