Feathers of Fire - This year we closed our long running theatrical show Feathers of Fire. The 70-minute show incorporates puppets, shadow casters, music, and animation and is based on the 10th century epic poen Shahnameh. We partnered with ShadowLight Productions, and together faciliated artist Hamid Rahmanians vision and creation. Two Chairs has been reponsible for touring the show this year, providing all logistics, contract services, and team representation. We closed accounts and paid of the remaining payments at the beginning of January 2019.
Last Man Standing - We have continuted to support of the work of documentarian Louisa Merino, who is working on a film about Jerry Yellin, one of the last veterans from WWII, who enlisted to fight the Japanese, after their attack on Pearl Harbor. Jerry returned home from the war as a decorated pilot and suffered from PTSD. It was only when he found Transcendental Meditation decades later that he began the road back to himself. When his son moved to Japan and married a Japanese woman, Jerry was confronted with his decades-old fear and hatred. At 91 years old, Jerrys mission is to promote peace and understanding between different cultures. This is an ongoing project.
Song of the North - This is a new theatrical production, currently in development. The 85-minute show incorporates puppets, shadow casters, music, and animationand is based on the 10th century epic poen Shahnameh. We will be working with artist Hamid Rahmanian to help produce this show, providing support and fundraising services. We will also be responsible for managing the tour, the show from the end of 2020 on.
