THANK YOU, BUT OUR PRINCESS IS IN ANOTHER CASTLE

Video games as digital puppetry. Technicians will use several xbox 360 consoles and laptops linked to each other in the venue and to others over the internet to control digital characters in real-time in front of an audience.

Halo3 and World of Warcraft, among other games, will be used to tell the stories of Niobe and the Japanese poet, Ono no Komachi. A digital movement piece and a version of Alvin Lucier's "I am sitting in a Room" also will be presented.
 

Cast: Lucas Thompson, Tim Tully, Charlie Shields, Maxime Olshan-Cantin, Connor Sedlacek, Eddie Kim-Director
