JUXTAPOSE | A Theatrical Shadow Box

JUXTAPOSE is set in a magical-realist tenement building occupied by eccentric characters trying to co-exist during the sixth mass extinction. Their lives are interrupted and illuminated by a human shooting star who arrives through their roof.

 

The show is inspired in part by the shadow boxes of Joseph Cornell and the films of Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amélie). Isolated objects are brought together within a frame to create poetic possibilities. As humanity teeters on the edge of the frame, JUXTAPOSE offers audiences a reminder that our shared mortality, our common humanity, the ability to laugh at fear and the limitless hope of imagination might save us from the despair of ending.
