plasticity now

Mind of a Snail presents:

Plasticity Now

The Spirit of Plastic has a message for us.

Plastic: where did it come from, and where is it going?

This is a shadow puppet story about time and energy, oil and water.

Plasticity is the adaptability of an organism to a changing environment.

The musical instruments and puppets for this show were all made with waste plastic.

"Between the clever, cinematic segues, you forget that the images are made from reels of cut and reassembled trash dragged across overhead projectors."

-Paul Constant (The Stranger)
