Performance & Sculptural Artist Sha Sha Higby's a Paper Wing II
SEE EVENT DETAILS
International performance/sculptural artist, Sha Sha Higby uses the exquisite and ephemeral body sculpture she creates herself and performs in to develop a poetic plot in solo performance. Internationally renowned for her evocative and haunting performances, she is influenced by her studies in Asia, Noh Mask and theater, dance and shadow puppets.
The show explores Sha Sha’s premier “a Paper Wing II” and her latest Wing developments, a whimsical journey of life, death, and rebirth through ephemeral images that evoke the passage of time and day, or the shifting of the seasons. Using the manipulation of hand crafted materials, textures and exotic sculptural costume interwoven with glass finger puppetry, dance and intricate props, it takes Higby two years to make and develop a new costume… slowly moving us toward a sense of patience and timelessness.
