The Little Luminary
Shadow Puppetry Fabrication and Performance
In the middle of a dark forest, with only a small candle in her chest to light her way, the Little Luminary comes face to face with Fear itself. When her inner light is extinguished, she must discover the strength to overcome her loss and let new light in. Will the very force that put out her flame be her guide in the darkness? The forest is always watching, waiting either to help or hinder those wandering in its domain. It has but one rule: do not stop walking. The Little Luminary sheds a small light on the struggle that many people face when following an unknown path. The fears that arise along the way threaten to stop us in our tracks and cease our onward journeys. And yet, our fears of never seeing what is just ahead have the power to spur us forward through the greatest of perceived dangers.
