2 Performances at Lincoln Theater: Friday July 19th & 20th @ 7:00 pm
Cave Dogs performs Liquid States, a shadow play extraordinaire, at Lincoln Theater, in Damariscotta, ME. Cave Dogs presents a startlingly original way of telling a story. Fluid shadows and images dance in wild imagination across the screen. Each performance promises a healthy dose of the sublime, the exciting, the absurd, and the downright fun that results in something infinitely compelling.
Cave Dogs current production, Liquid States, consists of innovative, large-scale shadow projections cast onto a screen from sculptures, props, costuming and the human body, in concert with projected video imagery, spoken narrative and an original soundtrack. Liquid States explores water as substance, as a metaphorical allusion and as a subject of socio-political debate. Through the divergent lenses of micro and macro perspectives, we examine mankind’s complicated relationship to this essential natural resource.
$35 general admission / $30 members / $10 youth
This is a 60-minute performance.
Tickets are available for purchase at the door beginning 30 minutes before showtime, or in advance* through our online box office.
*Advance tickets or confirmation emails may be printed for admission OR you may check in with your email address at the theater box office when you arrive.

Cave Dogs brings together visual artists, musicians and storytellers in the spirit of creating interdisciplinary, multi-sensory performances. Experience innovative, large-scale shadow projections cast from props, costumes, puppets and the human body.

Multiple, richly layered visual tableaus produce effects that conjure both the dreamlike quality of early film and the humor of contemporary animation – all of which charm, challenge, and captivate adults and children alike. It’s magical, like watching dreams cross into the conscious world. We teach trees to dance and whales to sing.
