NARRATION NARRATION NARRATION
STORYTELLING IS ONE OF THE VERY DEFINING CHARACTERISTICS OF HUMAN BEINGS. THE TALES WE TELL SHAPE OUR PERCEPTIONS AND ESTABLISH OUR WORLDVIEWS, CREATING THE MYTHOLOGIES AROUND OUR CULTURAL IDENTITIES UPON WHICH WE BUILD OUR LIVES. WE USE THEM TO MAKE SENSE OF THE COMPLEX AND CONFOUNDING WORLD AROUND US, APPLYING THEM AS STRUCTURES WITHIN WHICH WE CAN FIND EXPLANATIONS FOR OUR PONDERINGS. THEY ARE POTENT TOOLS THROUGH WHICH WE CAN BE BROUGHT TOGETHER BUT JUST AS WELL BE TORN APART.
FOR PLASTIC PRODUCTIONS: NARRATION NARRATION NARRATION WE PRESENT A SELECTION OF PERFORMERS, MUSICIANS, POETS, AND ARTISTS WHO WILL TAKE ON THE ROLE OF THE NARRATOR, DELVING INTO THE CAPTIVATING WORLD OF STORYTELLING. WE INVITE THE AUDIENCE TO JOIN US FOR AN EVENING THAT WILL EXPLORE THE MULTITUDE OF FORMS THROUGH WHICH WE NARRATE OUR STORIES AND SHINE A NEW LIGHT ONTO THE STORIES WITH WHICH WE FILL OUR LIVES.
PLASTIC PRODUCTIONS CURATES AND PRODUCES INTERDISCIPLINARY PERFORMANCE EVENTS, BRINGING TOGETHER ARTISTS AND CREATORS FROM DIFFERENT FIELDS FOR ONE EVENING ONLY. BY BRINGING TOGETHER PRACTITIONERS FROM A WIDE RANGE OF FIELDS, THE EVENT FOSTERS AN ENVIRONMENT THAT BREAKS WITH THE STANDARD FORMATS OF PRESENTATION.
OUR AIM IS TO MAKE ART AND CULTURE DYNAMIC, ALIVE, AND APPROACHABLE WHILE FOSTERING THE SENSATION OF EXPLORATION AND DISCOVERY. WITH OUR EVENTS WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE CONNECTION, COLLABORATION, AND CONVERSATION, CREATING EXPERIENCES THAT LAST BEYOND THE SCOPE OF AN EVENING.
