ABOUT
FOOTNOTES is an immersive multi-media puppetry performance designed and directed by Theodora Skipitares. It takes place in four distinct locations in the Ellen Stewart Theater and examines the theme of walking….……its history, its science, its political power, its poetic and spiritual dimensions. The audience itself travels to several spaces within the theater, each member guided by a small booklet of instructions and interactive stories. As they embark on their journey, the audience encounters a labyrinth, mazes, and several “famous” walkers throughout history: Aristotle who taught his lessons while walking, three religious female pilgrims who walked thousands of miles, Henry Thoreau, Virginia Woolf and Mahatma Gandhi.
