About
Where do we fit in this endless universe? Glimpse the precious fragility of our life on Planet Earth as we peer into the Mirrored Pool.
Mirrored Pool is a puppetry and music collaboration between acclaimed puppeteer and La MaMa resident artist Tom Lee and musicians Lisa Kaplan and Matthew Duvall of the Grammy-award-winning sextet Eighth Blackbird. The piece explores humanity’s place in our vast universe, showcasing Eighth Blackbird’s music alongside the vital, human power of puppetry. It takes special inspiration from astronomer Carl Sagan, whose work on the Voyager spacecraft and the Golden Record are now the most distant human-made objects and sounds from our planet, currently 15.7 billion miles away from Earth.
Created and performed by Tom Lee, Lisa Kaplan, and Matthew Duvall.
