Dark Light

Directed by  SHIH Pei-yu & Larry Reed, Dark Light centers on the experiences of a boy, traumatized after witnessing the death of his parents, won’t talk or eat. His grandfather is worried and does not know what to do. The boy crawls into a world of fantasy where he comes across friends and people he misses, as well as scary things. He doesn’t want to face reality, but he can’t escape it forever.

Flying Group Theatre, which specializes in puppetry, collaborates with Larry Reed, a trailblazer in the contemporary shadow theatre field, to create this warm and moving production that incorporates shadow theater and black light techniques, as well as table-top puppets, masked puppets and live actors.

Co-produced by Cloud Gate Theater.
