Subject: Shiek! - Balinese puppetry in NYC

Hi everyone,

I wanted to invite you to a multimedia puppet show that I am doing in NYC with Balinese wayang kulit.  Info below and I've attached the flyer.  On Friday, March 26 there will be a talk-back about the show, Indonesian puppetry, and transgender identity with A.J. Predisik and myself.

(apologies for cross-posting)

-Jennifer Goodlander


We invite you to join us for Shriek!, a new multimedia puppet show based on the woman warrior myth of Srikandi. Written and Directed by Fulbright Fellow Jennifer Goodlander, Balinese shadow puppetry, music, dance, and media bring this fascinating tale to life.

Playing Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. from March 19 - 27 at Looking Glass Theatre - only four performances!

With the code FRIENDS, you can see this great production for just $15! We're also offering larger discounts for groups of 10 or more. Contact Jenn at admin-AT-lookingglasstheatrenyc.com<http://us.mc517.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=admin-AT-lookingglasstheatrenyc.com> to arrange your group reservation. We hope you can make it!

SHRIEK!
Scorned in one life - a woman seeks revenge in the next!

Abducted and shamed, a beautiful princess demands that her captor Bisma make things right. He shoots an arrow, hoping to scare her away, but the arrow strikes and kills her. As she dies, she vows to return in her next life and avenge this wrong. Srikandi is born a woman but trains as a warrior. Armed with a bow and arrow, she goes to war. But, in battle Bisma has been undefeated! Only Srikandi holds the arrow that will bring him down.

Taken from the Hindu epic, the Mahabharata, the production uses Balinese wayang kulit, or shadow puppetry, combined with music, dance, and video. Ornate two-dimensional puppets bring to life a story of love and war that points to a mythical past while connecting to a digital future. Wayang kulit is the ideal medium for this story as shadow puppets are at once solid and ethereal; present and connected to the past. They are the uncanny simulacrum of our daily experience, a tale of reinventing the self, a story of transformation and courage.
