 An
ensemble of nine artists from diverse disciplines
create a rich and haunting multi-media theatre
experience by creating larger-than-life shadow
puppets behind a 20-foot wide screen with video
projections on the front. The puppets and images,
made from sculptures, props, costumes and the human
body, move in concert with projected video imagery,
spoken narrative and an original soundtrack. This is
a tragic comedy informed by the themes of pacifism,
activism, materialism and poverty. Living in the
same apartment building during World War I, the
1960's and the present, three generations balance
their inherited legacies with the conflicts of their
present conditions. In the face of a storm, the
characters' funny and sometimes poignant devotion to
each other and their ideals lead them to unexpected
resolutions. |
