New Toy Theater by David Commander
January 11 at 2pm and January 12 at 7pm
Tickets: $20
Amidst a cavalcade of cameras, sampled sound effects, voice
modulators, action figures, and miniature worlds made out of
cardboard, David Commander weaves three original stories of epic
proportions. This is New Toy Theater, darkly humorous vignettes
projected larger than life tell the stories of a plane crash in In
Flight, massive food waste in Sacrament Burger, and the 1819 sinking of the whale ship Essex in Essex. Commander recontextualizes various toys of science fiction icons into profoundly dysfunctional characters living in tiny toy theater sets while he wrestles with juggling multiple tasks at once, presenting a chaotic performance alongside the spectacle of the projected image he creates.
