Theatre of Yugen at NOHspace: Sha Sha Higby Dance in Sculptural Costume – Sha Sha Higby with Keith Evans “Feathered Fox”

Sha Sha Higby with Keith Evans “Feathered Fox”
Using mobiles, puppets, micropuppetry, and magic spears, Sha Sha Higby’s metaphoric multi-layered masks and costume dance through the symbolic plight of our sky’s forests, and our own demise. Projection collaborator Keith Evans with his fascination devices will transform Sha Sha’s handmade artifacts with moving light. A battle of demons of fire in the forests is extinguished by the force of the oceans. A hole then opens in the sky and it begins to blow. Fish fly up catching the remains of dying souls. The fox appears and picks the souls as a bouquet and flies them home to safety.
