THE YEAR OF WANTING
A Very Small Shadow Show About The Depths Of Hell

THE YEAR OF WANTING is an exquisite hand-cranked, candle-illuminated shadow show, based primarily on the Greek myth of Persephone, and including a patchwork of other winter myths and folktales. Poetic, delicate, dark, and moving, the show riffs on all things cold and snowy, using live original music, elements from butoh, fan dancing, and traditional storytelling. Full of goblins, bears, lovers, root cellars, snow, hell, and magic, THE YEAR OF WANTING, is unlike anything you've ever seen before...or is it?

Sliding scale tickets $5-10, unless otherwise noted.

The show runs approximately 30 minutes. It is appropriate for children but intended for all ages. We will also be selling a book version of the show and music from our one man band, which makes for excellent gift giving. The show will be followed an informal talk back.
