Amanda Glynn Card
an interdisciplinary puppetry performance about the life and disappearance of cult musician Connie Converse, whose introspective songs were recorded in 1950s New York, and who vanished without a trace in 1974.
Through a layered integration of shadow puppetry, toy theater, live-feed video, and live music, the piece seeks to conjure Connie’s presence, reckon with her disappearance, and examine the meaning of artistic legacy, especially for those whose work was unseen in their lifetime.
