Henson Grant-awarded duo Shadow Girls Cult presents their newest series of shadow vignettes, “UNRAVELING.” Using a mind-bending blend of light techniques, old-school overhead projectors, shadow masks and hundreds of intricate and layered shadow puppets, SGC creates short animated films (live!) for audiences around the U.S.

Infused with elements of sci-fi, film noir, classic horror, and surrealism, “UNRAVELING” explores the inexplicable moments in time when we, or the world around us, seem to come apart. The show begins with themes of yearning, curiosity and wonder, moves through fractured identity and grief, and ends with a dream sequence. Seamlessly blended, “UNRAVELING” touches on the echo of a question: is the world (and by extension, are we) destined to always, always come apart at the seams?

This special version of UNRAVELING will be performed with live foley and musical additions by Leanna Keith.
