Miwa Matreyek is both an animator and a performer, creating beautifully layered digital imagery and then inserting herself into the frame to interact live with the work onscreen.  This UK premiere of her new show reimagines the history of the earth, in an immersive visual journey that combines traditional shadow puppetry with eye-popping animation and music by Flying Lotus. Tonight’s performance will also include Matreyek’s 2010 show Myth and Infrastructure.
