SYNOPSIS
Unfolding is a contemporary fairy tale that magically transports the audience through space and time, capturing the journey of a woman as she navigates a life of self-discovery.
A puppet theatre production, Unfolding weaves together nostalgic youth and covetable wisdom to explore themes of female wisdom and empowerment, using moving performance and puppetry, shadow imagery, unique design, exquisitely hand-crafted puppets, and original music.
Since 2015, Unfolding has been presented at national and international festivals and venues in the USA, Bulgaria, and Turkey, in part due to the generous support of donors like you.
WHY WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT
In October 2022, the cast and creative team of Unfolding will tour this innovative, women-centered puppet production in Indonesia, with performances at:
The American Embassy (@america) in Jakarta, to be live-streamed on October 15th – Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for a link to the livestream!
Our crowdfunding goal of $10,000+will allow us to compensate each member of our talented artistic and production team to take Unfolding on this significant journey abroad. Our funding so far has only covered 60% of our total expenses (see below).
As we continue to be passionate ambassadors for cultural exchange and build meaningful international relationships, we hope to bring our state-of-the-art puppet storytelling to even more parts of the world, beyond 2022!
Other (Including health insurance, travel, visas, etc.): $9,100
Total expenses: $30,350
We’ve been fortunate enough to receive the prestigious Jim Henson Foundation Allelu Award and partial support from the American Embassy in Jakarta.
HOWEVER, THIS FUNDING HAS COVERED JUST 60% OF OUR TOTAL EXPENSES.
We’re relying on your generous support to help us make our Indonesian tour a success!
