Steven Wendt and Wes Day

Performance will take place at The Chocolate Factory Theater, 38-33 24th Street, Long Island City.

 

Loosely using Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, scientist Steven will dive into the world of exploring how shadows and sounds can match up to make feelings happen. A flashlight is actually a movie camera and movie projector combined. How do we see images? Do the sounds guide the feelings we have? Our TV and phone screens use this combo of sound and image all the time to create what we think is reality but isn’t real reality more fun? Let’s prove it.

Join Steven Wendt and Wes Day as they workshop a new show meant for young audiences and families. All ages are welcome, especially ages 5 – 12 yrs old, as we dive into a sensory rich, imaginative and surprising new way to be in the “real”.
