The Science Fiction Project: Installment 1 + 2 A collaboration between Ellen Sebastian Chang and Larry Reed In Association with Amber McZeal, Black Spirituals and ShadowLight Productions The Science Fiction Project is an ongoing series of short shadow theatre happenings that examine the concepts of community, environment, identity and human conditions, utilizing the conventions of Science Fiction. Created and directed by Ellen Sebastian Chang, Installment 1 + 2 is a one-night-only event that reveals a making of a modern creation myth, weaving personal and collective dreams and oral traditions in Africa. The story - what Chang coins as “Afrofuturist Myth Making” - unfolds against the backdrop of interplaying shadow and light choreographed by Larry Reed and improvised live soundscape of the genre defying music duo, Black Spirituals. Interdisciplinary musician/storyteller Amber McZeal takes the center stage as the Narrator/Navigator guiding you on a journey of how-we-all-got-here. The Science Fiction Project: Installment 1 + 2 will be presented at the Joe Goode Annex, 401 Alabama Street, SF at 7PM on Sunday, November 20, 2016. The tickets are on a sliding scale of $5-15 and can be purchased at http://sciencefictionproject.brownpapertickets.com.
