  • Jawbone Puppet Theater & Poncili Company present: SACRED CANDY (SUMMER PUPPET TOUR 2013)

    photo 2Jawbone Puppet Theater is a quirky, potty-mouthed, father-son act from Brooklyn, NY, by way of Taiwan.  Poncili Company is a mysterious experimental art collective from Puerto Rico.  After the success of their winter tour, “Dinosaur Saints & Humble Robots,http://www.facebook.com/DinosaurSaintsHumbleRobots” , they have joined forces once again, to bring you:

    .SACRED CANDY.

    Including the short masterpiece “Fire Hydrant Woman gets Tooken Away,” written, designed and directed by the 5-year-old, which culminates in a disemboweled t-rex spewing guts and candies, the show quickly spirals into madness, as a girl meets the world through the eyes of Candywoot, a schizophrenic clown obsessed with the reality of a near, but bizarre, dystopian future, while a man with a bad leg tries to make his way home, and everybody prays to the holy mutant cow in hopes of ending their addiction to candy.  Babies will cry, and monsters will lose their shape no matter how many eyes you have to see them, Running time:  1 hour.

  • Black Radical Imagination

    desire-1The notion of the Black Radical Imagination stemmed from a series of discussions around the boundaries and limitations that are historically given to people of color. Specifically, in the film industry these restrictions are often digested and kept to propel a vicious cycle of negative identification. Black Radical Imagination invokes a futurist aesthetic where artists identify themselves and reclaim their own unique stories.

    It features Golden Chain by Adebukola Bodunrin & Ezra Claytan Daniels (2013), Afronauts by Cristina De Middel (2013), Mae’s Journal by Amir George (2013), Quiescence Interrupted… Adumbrate by Anasi Knowbody (2013), Split Ends, I Feel Wonderful by Akosua Adoma Owusu (2012), Reifying Desire 2 by Jacolby Satterwhite (2012), and Changing Same by Cauleen Smith (2001)
    The screening will include a roundabout dialogue with the audience members and featured filmmakers to further ponder and process the stories that are being presented.
