Star

Automata presents the world premiere of Star, directed and designed by Los Angeles/Paris artist Katie Shook. Star, a play for puppets by award-winning playwright Erik Ehn, explores the compulsion for revenge within the emotional aftermath of the Tulsa Race Riots. The piece features an original score by Erik Lindley. Star is one of 17 new plays in Erik Ehn's Soulographie cycle, which looks at America's relationship to genocide in the 20th century in Tulsa, East Africa and Central America.
