FEAR IN THE WESTERN WORLD is a digital puppetry performance (for adults) examining the apparatus of fear and how both the repulsion and compulsion towards guns play into their power to control and oppress.
The piece weaves Horror Film tropes like 1979’s Amityville Horror with Greek mythology to tell the story of a young couple whose daughter is attacked and kidnapped by spirits in the catacombs of a haunted house.
By exposing the mechanics behind the performance’s puppetry, Fear In The Western World offers the audience a sense of observational interactiveness that takes uncomfortable detours through violence, race, and the tool of fear.
