An Evening of Shorts and 2 projects made for multiple screens

Ichie visits her grandmother. Grandmother Freya shows Ichie a Magic Lantern that projects shadow puppets on the wall. Freya inspires Ichie to travel when she grows up. Right away the shadow puppets from the magic lantern whisk Ichie off through space and time to New York City of the present. Ichie is grown up and returning from abroad. Will Ichie will stay in New York City or continue on her travels? Some of the installation involves memories from the past and images of the future.

The characters walk from screen to screen. An immersive environment is created where each person has a unique viewing experience.
