Event
The Land of Shadow
The Land of Shadow; directed by Daniel Patrick Fay, is a multi media
experience combining object base performance; featuring puppets
designed and performed by Daniel Patrick Fay, experimental music
composed and performed by Andrew Livingston and performing scenery
created by John McLeod.
This object-based performance pushes through the screen of
traditional puppetry and extends the performance space outward in
order to share the space traditionally occupied by the audience.
Within the performance space the audience has a contiguous interaction
with object and performers. By creating an installation within the
performance space the scenery serves as both stage and performer.
The scenery is antithetically used as performing objects, even
characters. Land of Shadow is as much installation as it is
performance.
The experience is a combination of various puppetry styles including
experimentations in shadow puppetry incorporating multi-media
techniques, and an array of rod puppets and marionettes interacting
within the installation and set to original scores written by Andrew
Livingston. This is as much a musical experience as well as a visual/
performing art theatrical exhibition.
The show consists of five acts and is approximately 45 minutes long.
