Phantom Limb: 69°S.
Friday + Saturday, September 23 + 24, 8 PM
Tickets Inspired by Sir Ernest Shackleton's harrowing expedition to Antarctica in 1914 and the mystique of the great arctic continent, Phantom Limb unites puppetry, dance, film, history, and photography with the junkyard dog aesthetic of the band Skeleton Key performing live, a score recorded by the Kronos Quartet, and haunting glacial field recordings to create a stunning vision of Antarctica—past, present, and future. Shackleton's crew, played by half-life-size puppets, struggles to survive in this vast landscape. 69°S. mines the inherently bittersweet and complex nature of the Shackleton experience and what the future may hold for this fragile environment.
