About this event
A night of Shadow puppetry featuring Ocean Kin by Jeighk Koyote and two short shows by Dawn Brandes. Ocean Kin, created by Jeighk Koyote, is a 45-minute long poetic shadow show contemplating our relationship to body and self inspired by the ecology of the sea otter. Three performers animate plexi-glass puppets, 3D sculptural props and projected illustrations behind a screen using flashlights and an overhead projector that is both mechanically complex and visually rich. The performance carries a loose narrative through words and an ethereal soundscape created by Halifax musician, Alyson Randles. Performers/Puppeteers: Jeighk Koyote, Leah Gooyers, Forest Tremblay Directors: Megan Stewart and Ian McFarlane Music: Alyson Randles
