...a 45 minute-long shadow performance contemplating our relationship to body and self inspired by the ecology of the sea otter.

about OCEAN KIN

Ocean Kin, created by Jeighk Koyote,  is a 45 minute long poetic shadow show contemplating our relationship to body and self inspired by the ecology of the sea otter. Three performers animate plexi-glass puppets, 3D sculptural props and projected illustrations behind a screen using flashlights and an overhead projector that is both mechanically complex and visually rich. The performance carries a loose narrative through words and an ethereal soundscape created by Halifax musician, Alyson Randles. Inviting the audience to surrender to their inner quiet, Ocean Kin is an emotive performance that is both aching and hopeful.
