Ocean Kin: A Shadow Show

Ocean Kin is a 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 onto 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 inviting audiences to surrender to their inner quiet. Ocean Kin is an emotive performance that is both aching and hopeful.
