SUMMARY:Ocean Kin - A Shadow Show
DESCRIPTION: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 behind a screen using flashlights and an overhead projector. This mechanically complex and visually rich performance carries a loose narrative through words and an ethereal soundscape created by Halifax musician\, Layia. Inviting the audience to surrender to their inner quiet\, Ocean Kin is an emotive performance that is both aching and hopeful. \nWatch the show teaser here.\n \nAll tickets are pay-what-you-can\, and can be purchased here or at jeighkkoyote.com
