Caroline and Suzanne Borderies (puppeteers), Mirna Lekic (pianist), and David McCorkle (narrator) present an original shadow puppet show at the Charles B. Wang Center Theatre, with spare, intricate illustrations and lighting palettes that move from black and white to riotous color.

More about the show: Inspired by Wonju Seo’s contemporary textile exhibition Through the Light: Contemporary Jogakbo at the Wang Center, this original shadow puppet performance follows four generations of Korean women. Through their stories, the cultural richness of jogakbo—from its intricate patchwork to its symbolic meanings of prosperity, happiness, and longevity—comes to life. With humor and heart, the show celebrates the artistry and eco-conscious elegance of this enduring tradition. 

Shows at 1pm and 3pm.
