What goes on in the darkness? Shadow puppetry of course! Shadow Play presents excerpts from i don’t have the right words for it yet by Madeline Shuron and Krampus Gets Cramped (excerpt #2) by Jim Julien. 

Using movement, text, and shadow puppetry, i don’t have the right words for it yet attempts to ask what it means for artists and creators to exist in a “hustle culture” of gig work through the lens of the world’s greatest shapeshifter: the frog

Krampus Gets Cramped (excerpt #2) is a crankie “shadow puppet” box telling of the myth of Krampus, the Christmas demon, and the psychobilly, gorehound, rock and roll band, The Cramps, and how they all met in dirty, dirty NYC in the late 70s. For somewhat mature audiences.

Content Disclosure: both pieces contain adult content and language.
