A note from the Artists: Tickets $15 and $20 general admission. We are offering two options for ticket prices because we understand that we all have different budgets, even a small difference sometimes is a lot. The ticket price is not reflected on the seating which is first come first served. The good news is that there are no bad seats at Dekum Street Theater. Masks encouraged.
Ciclos by the Slow Blink Puppet Collective is a story that follows Nene, a young boy, grappling with the grief and suffering in the world. Through Nene's connection to his recent ancestor, Abuela, she guides him on journeys through different land bases meeting many different creatures to help remind him that he is not alone. Abuela helps Nene remember that through these web of relationships, that there is much celebration to be had as well as honoring our grief as sacred. Approximately length 35 minutes.
Slow Blink Puppet Collective created the story and all the puppets that will be used for this performance. Some voices will be in Spanish.
