Open Lab: KT Shivak: Rhynoceron
@ High Concept Labs
2233 S Throop St, 4th Floor, Chicago, IL 60608
Opening Sunday, September 22nd, from 4PM - 6PM
Rhynoceron is a puppetry piece exploring the parallel between a past when an animal thought to be myth suddenly appeared, and a future where an animal known to be real suddenly vanishes. This piece, currently in development as part of KT Shivak’s residency with HCL, features a lifesize rhinoceros puppet based on the history of this animal that sparked an obsession both to possess it and to consume its image.
Rhynoceron is directed by KT Shivak in collaboration with puppeteers Chih-Jou Cheng, Jacky Kelsey, Fletcher Pierson, and musician and composer Ben Zucker.
An excerpt of this work-in-development will be presented at The HCL Lab on World Rhino Day, and will be followed by a discussion with the artists and an opportunity to interact with the puppets.
