My Shadow and Me

Puppet Theatre Barge

Blomfield Road (opposite 35), W9 2PF

4 Nov 2023 - 5 Nov 2023

£10 - £14

My Shadow and Me by Drew Colby is like a cartoon created live out of nothing but darkness and light.

One person (and his shadow) meet and go on an incredible, imaginative, shadowy journey where creatures emerge, engage and transform beautifully.

The show uses minimal language in combination with unusual interpretations of classical music and non-verbal voice effects. Little encounters between characters are explored and tiny stories unfold. Many are funny, some are sweet. The ever fascinating and adorable hand shadow bunny makes an appearance as part of a simple magic trick, and the show ends with a colourful and impressive finale in which multiple shadow characters appear all at the same time – made with just two hands!!

This was the third production commissioned by Junction, Goole, with funding from the Arts Council England. The production focuses on the idea of our shadows and our relationship with them, inspired by the poem “My Shadow” by Robert Louis Stevenson.

It had its first performance in September 2017 at Junction in Goole. Since that time it has been to Turkey, India, Switzerland, Chile, Portugal, Malaysia, Italy, Russia, South Korea and Albania.
