Wakka Wakka: Dead as a Dodo
7pm @
Emens Auditorium
1800 W Riverside Ave
Wakka Wakka Productions is a multi award-winning international theatre company based in New York City and Oslo. Since 2001, Wakka Wakka has been creating original works of theatre and touring extensively throughout the US and the world. Today, Wakka Wakka specializes in bold, unique and unpredictable puppet theatre, incorporating object manipulation, masks, and original music.
The world of this show is created based on Tales from the Crypt, Dante’s inferno and old Silly Symphonies cartoons.
As a species, our relationship with death has changed over time, from early humanity until the present day. In our lifetime, the birth and growth of AI, gene editing and bio-technology have all thrust us into new realities and ideas of what is possible. Science is now looking at resurrecting the extinct.
Dead as a Dodo engages with this new present, and the future that will come of it. In a mostly cartoonish way, it exposes our most basic fears and desires, wrestling with our need for love, our fight for survival, and our quest for immortality.This event is presented by the College of Fine Art's annual Arts Alive! series.
