BorderLight Theatre Festival - Shadow

Shadow
Kris Mills & Phoenix Vizva'i

“Shadow” begins in absolute darkness. A single dancer moves with green light symbolizing the birth or beginning. As their light grows, they attract a dark creature who slowly begins to steal the light from the shadows. Eventually, the creature pulls all light from the dancer causing them to enter a slumber. The creature emerges out of the shadow in its new, raw form. She is powerful and the energy is intense. However, this intensity cannot be sustained and she is out of her supply. She hits rock bottom as her light fades, but eventually discovers she can generate her own without taking another’s. The dancer discovers the being who stole their light and moves to take it back. The show ends abruptly and in darkness, leaving the audience with their own interpretations.
