An extremely wicked gardener confronts the consequences of their wicked schemes when three spirits appear to address all this vile wickedness. Presented in a very intimate setting, this original shadow puppet show, created, crafted and performed by Jim Julien, will feature a variety of puppetry styles with multimedia elements that will bring a wickedly foul presence to a gentle garden setting. A delightfully dark garden will be planted from cursed seeds. The wickedness grows right up from the roots.
Cannonball, produced by Almanac Dance Circus Theatre, is the first and largest independent festival hub of the Philadelphia Fringe that presents risk-taking independent artists in back-to-back performances next to delicious lounge spaces, fostering creative collisions and community conversation.
