Eliana Fabiyi
Immersive/Interactive Experience, Art for Young Audiences (Kids Fringe), Family
Socrates is an average, everyday sock - a plain sock, not a sock that anybody would particularly remember. But today, they find themselves in the worst of all situations: in the chaos of a spin cycle, they have lost their mate. Thus commences an epic odyssey of a little sock in a big house, braving mythic monsters, uncharted lands, and terrifying pets, all to be reunited with their other half. In an interactive, fearless and improbable world of puppetry, Socrates helps us to discover strengths we didn't know we had, and recognize the importance of community when we are far from home.
The development of Socrates, an odyssey is supported in part by ReImagine: New Plays in TYA (a joint effort of Children's Theatre Foundation of America, Freeplay Society, The KennedyCenter, and Write Now), and Ninth Planet’s Producing Incubator.
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.
