POST-SHOW ON STAGE TOUR AND Q&A
Love, loss, and creation merge unexpectedly in Manual Cinema’s thrilling version of the classic Gothic tale Frankenstein. The real-life and fictional narratives of author Mary Shelley, Victor Frankenstein, and Frankenstein’s monster expose how family, community, and education shape personhood – or destroy it by their absence. The Chicago-based performance collective imaginatively combines shadow puppetry, cinematic techniques, sound effects, and live music to create a haunting show like nothing else you’ve ever seen.
Recommended for ages 8 and up. There are loud sounds, flashing lights and haze. We understand that certain types of content can be triggering for some viewers. Please be aware that this production contains a depiction of infant death.
This engagement of Manual Cinema is made possible in part through the ArtsCONNECT program of Mid Atlantic Arts with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
