Cher Ami was a heroic carrier pigeon for the US Army Corps in France during World War I who flew over 20 miles in under half an hour delivering a message to allied troops detailing the location of almost 200 wayward soldiers. Homing, created by the interdisciplinary artists Heather Rose Piper, is a multimedia puppetry play employing a poetic retelling of this epic flight, and explores the relationship between home and displacement, intuition, resiliency, and how faith and hope shape the human experience.
Light Potion, a dreamy short film created by the artist Jacob Graham in conjunction with Avemarie Magdalena depicts a reclusive priestess’s carefully crafted creative process. Each element of this short film is imbued with an ancient magic emblematic of the artist’s work and transports the audience into an ethereal realm through light and sound.
