FLIGHT:the mythic journey of a person displaced

Saturday Aug 16, 8PM @ 2640 (2640 St. Paul St.)

Flight is a brand new 30-minute shadow theater piece from radical graphic artist and Just Seeds 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 here 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.
