FLIGHT:the mythic journey of a person displaced
Saturday Aug 16, 8PM @ 2640 (2640 St. Paul St.)
I'm really excited about this event as 2640 is one of my favorite venues on the East Coast! Plus Roby Newton was one of the first people I ever heard of doing puppetshows in the punk rock context and inspired the people who inspired me to start doing this kind of work!
Flight is a brand new 30-minute shadow theater piece from radical graphic artist and Justseeds collective member Erik Ruin, depicting the picaresque journey of a displaced person attempting to escape/ transcend persecution. This show will feature overhead projectors, scrolling landscapes, intricately cut scenes of shipwrecks, refugee camps & burning houses, and a hair-raisingly beautiful improvised score by violinist Katt Hernandez
Also on the bill for the evening is a special treat: "Interference," a puppet show about a stranger in a strange land, a newcomer to the city who finds the experience of living within its confines overwhelming, in a most peculiar way. robot neutron (aka roby newton) uses hand puppets and shadows to tell this tale of "interference". she lives in baltimore and has been making puppets and puppet shows since before the turn of the century.
Plus special musical guests tba. $5-$10 sliding scale.
