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.

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.
