Double Feature Puppet Show PHANTASMAGORIA and UNRAVELING
Join us at Q.E.D. ASTORIA on April 20th for a double feature of thoughtful, mind-bending, and whimsical marionettes and shadow puppetry: PHANTASMAGORIA, by one-man marionette-artist extraordinaire Puppet Pants (Atlanta), and UNRAVELING, by Henson Grant-awarded duo Shadow Girls Cult (Seattle). Clowns, monsters, and mysteries amuse and interact with the audience in PHANTASMAGORIA. This marionette variety show features whimsical acts ranging from endearing to odd, set to an original score. Specializing in marionette making and manipulation, Puppet Pants delivers a wordless performance, fading into the background while in full view of the audience. Somewhat circusy, a little edgy, and with a closing message about believing in yourself, PHANTASMAGORIA will definitely intrigue and delight you! Infused with elements of sci-fi, film noir, classic horror, and surrealism, UNRAVELING explores the inexplicable moments in time when we, and the world around us, seem to come apart. A series of shadow vignettes takes the audience on a journey through yearning, curiosity, and wonder, moving through fractured identity and grief, and ending with a dream sequence. Shadow Girls Cult uses a mind-bending blend of light techniques, old-school overhead projectors, shadow masks, and hundreds of intricate and layered shadow puppets to create an animated film-like experience. UNRAVELING touches on the echo of a question: is the world (and by extension, are we) destined to always, always come apart at the seams? These performers are coming to you all the way from Seattle and Atlanta, so don’t miss this unique experience! Tickets range from $18-$25.
