Splintered Light Theatre presents Ic

In this stunning and unique performance, writer Serena Chopra joins Splintered Light Theater, directed by shadow puppeteer Andryn Arithson, for an unparalleled shadow performance of Chopra's forthcoming book, Ic (Horse Less Press, 2016).

Through shadow performance, Arithson articulates Chopra's Ic, short for Icarus, in his ascent to the sun of American greatness that, in its brightness is defined by whiteness, in its dominance is a fortress of masculinity, and in its singularity, rejects queerness, otherness and multiplicity. At the apex of his flight, the sun burns away Ic's marginalized identities, and he watches as his shoes, locket, song and clothes fall, as marginalia, into the city lakes below where the sun is scattered and spread around the bodies of divers (also divers, in the Middle English usage, meaning diverse). Who will claim this marginalia? Who will appropriate this abandoned identity?
