Inspired by the life and work of 19th century photographer Eadweard Muybridge, whose instantaneous photography and exhaustive studies in animal and human locomotion foretold the invention of the modern-day cinema.
In 1885 Muybridge embarked on a mission of cataloguing animal movement and human gestures, dissecting time and in so doing, revealed a world invisible to the naked eye. However, Muybridge is haunted by the ghosts of his past actions; the man he killed, the child he abandoned, and the woman he thought he knew. The play, a physically and visually explosive spectacle, explores themes of memory, identity, and the quest for meaning at the very beginning of our culture's obsession with images.
One of Canada’s most dynamic companies, Electric Company Theatre, comes to Calgary with this innovative and unique theatrical experience. (AUDIENCE ADVISORY: NUDITY)
