With Liz Adele Allen, Sarah Frechette, Jason Thibodeaux and Alain Z.
NIGHT SHADE is a modern myth in a timeless cloak. Three evocative shadow-theater
tales: HAUNTED PROJECTILE, CARRION and ORDER OF WOLF, blend illustration,
shadow puppets, masks, marionettes, objects, sound and light into a
form of cinematic shadow theater.
Follow two curious little girls as they enter a mysterious house where
they are tempted by exotic sea monsters and dance in the tangled web
of a demon. Steal into the pages of an ancient manuscript that will
reveal the truth and beauty behind the secret "Order of Wolf."
Witness the trials and tribulations of a young boy. The choices he makes
to resurrect his possessed sisters and save his haunted town will decide
all of their fates or be lost forever. NIGHT SHADE is a show of supernatural
things -- honoring the innocent, sinister, intimate and haunted.
ABOUT CARRIONETTES
Artists Liz Adele Allen, Sarah Frechette, Jason Thibodeaux, Alain Z
and composer Blake Madden have fused together as "Carrionettes."
This artistic collective blends illustration, puppetry, film and sound
into forms of bewitching cinematic theater. Carrionettes' "Haunted
Projectile," with music by Metralleta, opened for post punk band
Japanther, where it lit up Live With Animals Art Space in Brooklyn.
It was also performed at the 2007 Puppeteers of America National Puppetry
Festival.
