Adams Theater Presents 'Feral' by Sandglass Theater
 |
ADAMS, Mass. — "Feral," which ends the Adams Theater's Puppetry Series this season, comes to the Adams Theater on Oct. 18 at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are available at https://ci.ovationtix.com/
According to a press release:
"Feral," created and led by Sandglass Artistic Director Shoshana Bass, invites audiences on a woman's journey as she experiences the tension between her intuitive knowledge and learned societal behavior, captured by an allegorical transformation into a werewolf. As the woman tries to reintegrate this wild voice, she wrestles with her sanity while being diagnosed with a growing feral condition. Within the protection of her domelike dress, domestic acts are disrupted by ancestral visitations and dreams of wolves.
"Feral" is the first Sandglass piece that has been developed entirely under Bass' vision as creative director. The inspiration comes from the experience of being a woman in the world, having to lean on your intuition to evaluate whether a space is safe.
While in Adams, Sandglass Theater will also present a puppetry workshop from 11am-1pm Oct. 19. Focusing on tools and techniques of shadow puppetry, projection, and sound looping, this workshop will help participants generate worlds for storytelling. Using shadow puppets, masks and found objects, participants will learn principles of interfacing with different light sources, integrating manual shadows with projections, and generating multilayered vocal loops.
Bass grew up in puppetry–her parents, Eric Bass and Ines Zeller Bass, formed Sandglass Theater in Munich in 1982, and moved to Putney, Vt., four years later. At first they were a touring company, and in 1996 opened a theater space in their new hometown.
Sandglass is touring with "Feral" this year and will bring the show all over the country after premiering the piece at Puppets in the Green Mountains last year. Bass, her creative team, and the puppets will stop in Alaska before coming to Adams.
The Adams Theater participates in Mass Cultural Council's Card to Culture program, in collaboration with the Department of Transitional Assistance, the Women, Infants & Children Nutrition Program, and the Mass Health Connector.
