Two hundred and seventy five years after Samuel de Champlain claimed an enormous tract of land including Lake Champlain, Leo Tolstoy wrote perhaps his most famous short story, “How Much Land Does a Man Need?” about another individual determined to acquire land. Over a century later, Jamie Masefield and The Jazz Mandolin Project have placed this parable in front of the movie screen to critical acclaim at performing arts centers, festivals and universities. Through narration, a new magical body of music and startling video footage, this multimedia performance allows the audience to reflect on it’s own time and place. What could be more appropriate for Vermont’s celebration of the Lake? Check showdates page for more info.
