Скачать или смотреть PERFORMANCE | Wrapped Presence | A Live Musical and Shadow Puppet Performance

A live musical and shadow puppet show was presented at the Charles B. Wang Center on November 9th, 2025

Caroline Borderies (puppeteer), Madeleine Borderies (puppeteer), Andre Bregegere (Music & Sounds), and Tessa Souter (narrator) present an original shadow puppet show with spare, intricate illustrations and lighting palettes that move from black and white to riotous color.

Inspired by Wonju Seo’s contemporary textile exhibition Through the Light: Contemporary Jogakbo at the Wang Center, this original shadow puppet performance follows four generations of Korean women. Through their stories, the cultural richness of jogakbo—from its intricate patchwork to its symbolic meanings of prosperity, happiness, and longevity—comes to life. With humor and heart, the show celebrates the artistry and eco-conscious elegance of this enduring tradition.
