Lightning
Nov 4-6 at 7:30 pm
Directed and devised by DE Design Director Jeremy Louise Eaton
and co-created with the DE Company
Layering large puppetry, shadow, and song, Lightning takes place at the collision point between the worlds of our internal and external experiences. We look at our past and tell the birth story of the inner monsters we both need and deny.
Before Lighting there will be a pre-performance musical offering by DE Company Member Robert Carlton.
