This is not the old Boris Karloff Frankenstein. Chicago’s Manual Cinema is a performance collective that utilizes various media including vintage overhead projectors, multiple screens, puppets, actors, live feed cameras, sounds and live music to reimagine what cinema might be. In this revisiting of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the company draws from Shelley’s biography, the tale of Victor Frankenstein, and the story of his monster to consider “the beauty and horror of creation.” Gothic with a capital “G.”
media release: Mary Shelley’s classic Frankenstein comes to life once again in a performance from Manual Cinema that is sure to be unlike any other you have seen. Known for combining shadow puppetry, cinematic techniques, sound effects, and live music, Emmy Award-winning Manual Cinema has been named Chicago Artists of the Year (Chicago Tribune) and performed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Kennedy Center, and Edinburgh Fringe Festival, among others. Explore the beauty and horror of creation in this new drama that recreates the fictional world of Shelley’s novel and incorporates real-world experiences of the author’s life.
