$20 – $60
PLUS: POST-SHOW ON STAGE TOUR AND Q&A
Love, loss, and creation merge unexpectedly in Manual Cinema’s thrilling version of the classic Gothic tale Frankenstein. The real-life and fictional narratives of author Mary Shelley, Victor Frankenstein, and Frankenstein’s monster expose how family, community, and education shape personhood – or destroy it by their absence. The Chicago-based performance collective imaginatively combines shadow puppetry, cinematic techniques, sound effects, and live music to create a haunting show like nothing else you’ve ever seen.
Recommended for ages 8 and up. There are loud sounds, flashing lights and haze. We understand that certain types of content can be triggering for some viewers. Please be aware that this production contains a depiction of infant death.
