Residency artists and researchers Theatre Compagnie Crache Larmes Theatre group Undershadows is the working title for an international theatre production being put together by the Parisian theatre group Compagnie Crache Larmes in cooperation with Finnish puppet theatre director Outi Sippola. The production’s actors and puppeteers are Selana McMahan and Linda Lemmetty, graduates of École Jacques Lecoq /the Puppet Theatre degree programme at Turku Arts Academy. At the Saari Residence, we will begin work on the performance Undershadows, which combines the expression of shadow theatre and physical theatre. The performance studies subterranean spaces and the battle of the individual, and is encased within a thriller-like ambiance. During the residency, we will focus on experimenting with shadow illusion, preparing the script and producing the performance material. The performance will premiere in the fall of 2014.
