A 30-minute interactive multilingual and multimedia performance installation for ages 0-5 and their caretakers. SHELL includes projections, movement, puppetry and play.
SHELL follows a Slug and a Snail who journey to find a new shell when the Snail’s shell is broken in a storm. Composed of different vignettes, audiences will practice phonetics, play with causality and object permanence against the backdrop of a story that will be performed in Spanish and English, and touch on migration and community / SHELL sigue a una babosa y un caracol que viajan para encontrar un nuevo caparazón cuando el caparazón del caracol se rompe en una tormenta. Compuesto por diferentes viñetas, el público practicará la fonética, jugará con la causalidad y la permanencia del objeto en el contexto de una historia que se representará en español e inglés y tocará la migración y la comunidad.
10-minutes of free play at the end that will allow young people to interact with the puppets and set pieces, and practice games, movements, and noises they saw during the performance.
This project is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts, and the N.C. Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural & Cultural Resources. NCArts.org.
