In Retrospect, a new piece from LOCO7 Dance Puppet Theatre Company is based on love and its expression between lovers, within families, through devotional practices, and in the arts and mythology of different cultures.
The multi-disciplinary work will present vivid images and stories through spoken word, large marionettes, masks, body-puppets, dance, live music, unique lighting design, and video, within an overarching work that will reflect the full spectrum of feelings of love, from ultimate joy to depth of sorrow and loneliness.
Creative inspiration for the multi-segmented work will come from selected historical texts and mythical events, as well as personalized metaphors pertaining to one’s own experience with that emotion which all humanity holds in the highest regard.
Federico Restrepo is a Colombian-born master of puppet theatre and physical theatre who stages epic thoughts using giant puppetry, acrobatic choreography and tempestuous music. “In Retrospect” is being written and developed by Federico Restrepo and Denise Greber. It will be designed, choreographed, and directed by Restrepo, with music composed by Elizabeth Swados.
