Wye Oak video Fish, live show on April 22nd!

Friday, April 22nd we will attempt to perform the shadow puppet show from the video live accompanied by Wye Oak. It's been a challenge figuring out how to pull it off. I've been making doubles of certain puppets (in some cases, 5 of them) and Michael O'Leary, who filmed the video, is orchestrating an elaborate screen and lighting setup. Excited to see how it turns out! Opening are Anna Roberts-Gevalt and Elizabeth LaPrelle from southern Virginia and their amazing crankies (scrolling shadow puppet shows)!

$8   Friday, April 22nd at the Metro Gallery   7-10PM   21+
