Room to Panic

Room to Panic is a new work by LOCO7 (www.loco7.org) depicting, in movement and visual theater, the struggles of the immigrant’s mind on the path toward assimilation. The piece is conceived and created by Federico Restrepo and Denise Greber with music composed by Elizabeth Swados. It brings together magical puppets, choreography, three-dimensional scenery and video. Typical of Federico Restrepo’s style, the puppets will include huge winged creatures, fifteen foot high politicians and mothers, a dancing puppet house and body-puppets of Restrepo himself. There is a cast of ten.
