Phantom Limb: 69°S.
Friday + Saturday, September 23 + 24, 8 PM
Tickets

69°S. is inspired by Ernest Shackleton's harrowing 1914 expedition to Antarctica. Phantom Limb unites puppetry, dance, film, history, and photography with a score that melds live junk-rock by Skeleton Key, recordings of the Kronos Quartet, and glacial field recordings to create a stunning vision of Antarctica's past, present, and future.

A look inside the creative process in the making of 69°S.
