“Frankenstein” by Manual Cinema at Court Theatre | Chicago

Manual Cinema’s homage to the 100th anniversary of Mary Shelley’s gothic classic “Frankenstein” is a singular theatrical experience that mixes live action, silhouettes, puppets, shadow puppetry, masks, video, slide projection and all manner of theatrical techniques, ancient and modern to create a captivating monochromatic video mash-up.

At the Court Theatre on the campus of the University of Chicago through December 2, 2018.

After the performance, the audience is invited to come on stage and experiment with some of the technology and get a closer look at the props and process.
