Birds Alight: Interactive Shadow Theater in the Round

Birds AlightArtist:  Leslie Zenz

Location:  Heritage Park 

Project Description:  Celebrating Olympia’s connection to the natural world, the artist presents a shadow puppet performance on the shores of Capitol Lake, accompanied by live Brazilian jazz from Northwest Choro Collective. Glowing like a lantern in the dark, poetic movements and scenes progress as a journey from one screen into the next; the performance ends as the public is invited into the lantern to create their own stories in shadows.
