Shadow Screening with Q&A
Saturday, January 21, 7pm
A group of activists holds a public meeting, desperate to save the world. As the meeting unravels, they discover that the greatest threat to their future is already in the room.
Adapted from Australia’s internationally acclaimed Back to Back Theatre’s hit play THE SHADOW WHOSE PREY THE HUNTER BECOMES—developed in residency at MASS MoCA with the Sundance Theatre Lab—this darkly humorous film was created through more than two years of conversation and improvisation with the performers and co-authors, and 95% of the people on screen are people with disabilities. Join us for a screening and discussion with the filmmakers.
