DISJECTA

Recent NYC transplants push "puppetry" to an entirely new realm!







This masterful show incorporates more than 400 intricately rendered cut-outs and blends illustration, shadow puppets, masks, objects, music and light into a form of cinematic shadow theater.  It's live animations so spectacular and haunting, it's for adults only!


Join Night Shade for a full evening performace on three evocative shadow-theater tales -- HAUNTED PROJECTILE, ORDER OF WOLF and CARRION -- as they convert Disjecta's grand gallery space into a supernatural palace of shadows, fantastical sea-creatures, hanted towns and vicious demons in vivid, 3-D detail.

Come to DISJECTA for a wicked evening of shadow theater this...
APRIL 3, 4 & 5 at 8pm Sharp!
APRIL 10, 11 & 12 at 8pm Sharp!

DISJECTA is located at 8371 N. Interstate Portland, OR
$10 advance tickets -- reservations thru www.disjecta.org

Night Shade is a show of supernatural things -- 
honoring the innocent, sinister, intimate and haunted!

GOLDEN TRIANGLE




Last Oct. 2008 our friends from the Brooklyn-based party band GOLDEN TRIANGLE pulled into town.  We created a short but sweet shadow puppet show to go with their opening song.  GOLDEN TRIANGLE was on tour with Quintron and Miss Pussycat.  

WICKED SPECIAL THANKS TO GOLDEN TRIANGLE!!!
