Description
Deploying actors, overhead projectors and a live orchestra, the Chicago-based puppetry ensemble Manual Cinema use shadow and music to tell compelling stories. The artist collective is currently touring it’s latest production, Ada/Ava, described as a "gothic melodrama, a puppet show, a slide show, a shadow play set to live jazz, and a behind-the-scenes look at how the magic is made." Watch as these wizards of light and shadow use vintage overhead projectors, transparencies and live action to tell the story of elderly twins pulled apart by death—or maybe not. The production runs through Feb. 4.
