People gathered outside to watch an interactive shadow puppet show

Create a Shadow Puppet Adventure!

A SEEK Raleigh project by Nyssa Collins with support from Raleigh Arts

Join SEEK Raleigh artist Nyssa Collins and the Deep Time Puppet Company for an interactive puppet event during First Friday at Artspace on July 7, 7-9:30 p.m.!

The Time Machine is a ten-minute choose-your-own-adventure shadow puppet show featuring live animation created through dozens of hand-cut puppets operated by a well-oiled machine of puppeteers. An after-hours visit to an inventors' laboratory in the Department of Deep Time can veer in many directions based on audience participation - it's guaranteed no two shows will be exactly the same!
