Double Feature Puppet Show: Phantasmagoria and Unraveling

The Supermarket

Join us for a one-night double feature of thoughtful, mind-bending, and whimsical marionettes and shadow puppetry!

Join us for a one-night double feature of thoughtful, mind-bending, and whimsical marionettes and shadow puppetry: PHANTASMAGORIA, by one-man marionette-building extraordinaire Puppet Pants, and UNRAVELING, by Henson Grant-awarded duo Shadow Girls Cult.‍Clowns, monsters, and mysteries amuse and interact with the audience in PHANTASMAGORIA. This marionette variety show features whimsical acts ranging from endearing to odd, set to an original score. Specializing in marionette making and manipulation, Puppet Pants delivers a wordless performance, fading into the background while in full view of the audience. Somewhat circusy, a little edgy, and with a closing message about believing in yourself, PHANTASMAGORIA will definitely intrigue and delight you!‍Infused with elements of sci-fi, film noir, classic horror, and surrealism, UNRAVELING explores the inexplicable moments in time when we, and the world around us, seem to come apart. A series of shadow vignettes takes the audience on a journey through yearning, curiosity, and wonder, moving through fractured identity and grief, and ending with a dream sequence. Shadow Girls Cult uses a mind-bending blend of light techniques, old-school overhead projectors, shadow masks, and hundreds of intricate and layered shadow puppets to create an animated film-like experience. 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?‍Recommended for adults and teens ages 16+ Shadow puppetry and marionettes Length: 2 hours with an intermission Language: English From Seattle and Atlanta!‍ UNRAVELING Created and Performed by Shadow Girls Cult Music by Kin of The Moon, Bad Angels, Orion Sound design by Zane Exactly “Birdwatching” — based on poem by Franny Choi “They’re Only Dreams” — text by Amy Escobar &amp; voiceover by Cass Bray Puppets designed and built by Shadow Girls Cult Other sound design by Shadow Girls Cult PHANTASMAGORIA Created and Performed by Puppet Pants Music by Puppet Pants Creation of this production was supported in part by The Henson Foundation.‍ About the Artists Founded in Atlanta in 2024, <a href="https://www.puppetpants.org/" title="https://www.puppetpants.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Puppet Pants</a> is committed to providing top quality marionette entertainment for audiences of all ages, and has performed at the New Orleans Giant Puppet Festival, Puppeteers of America 2024 South East Festival, DragonCON, Asheville and Atlanta Fringe, as well as music festivals, private events and independent tours of the United States. <a href="https://linktr.ee/shadowgirlscult" title="https://linktr.ee/shadowgirlscult" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Shadow Girls Cult</a> is an award-winning queer shadow puppetry and projections duo based out of Seattle, WA.
