Stage Buddy Reviews UNDEFINED FRACTION by Loco7

Jackie Danziger covers the world premiere of UNDEFINED FRACTION by Loco7 Dance Puppet Theatre Company.

"The most captivating stars of the show are undoubtedly the dynamic puppets (designed by Federico Restrepo and Becky Hubbert) made from an eclectic mix of materials - soft fabrics, hard metals - in a wide variety of sizes ranging from the petite to the gigantic, and employed using varied techniques including bunraku and marionette. The craftwork is inspiring and the puppeteering is impressive."

First Look at UNDEFINED FRACTION by Loco7

The final show of the 2015 La MaMa Puppet Series is Loco7 Dance Puppet Theatre Company's production of Undefined Fraction, which plays The Ellen Stewart Theatre from November 19th - 29th.

Inspired by Pedro Calderón de la Barca’s Spanish-language play, Life’s a Dream, Undefined Fraction, traces patterns of inequality and reflects on justice, guilt, punishment, and the conflict between free will and fate. The underlying philosophical question is of whether the so-called real world is actually an illusion, a dream from which we will wake some day. And if this is indeed some kind of test where our true character will be revealed when we die, how should we act here and now?
