The Gay Science (titled after Nietzsche's nihilist text) is a work of dance-theater exploring the malleability of self in all its uncanny, mediated, 21st-century iterations. This work embraces puppet aesthetics in order to explore these themes in an analog world of 2-D limbs.

Puppets and Direction by Anna Lublina

Choreography by: Elena Rose Light

Music Composed by Lilly Kaplan

Performed by Julia Cavagna & José Rivera Jr.
