Manual Cinema: A Christmas Carol

The  Chicago collective Manual Cinema (Ada/Ava) combines shadow puppetry and filmic techniques to create virtuosic immersive theater experiences. To help you find joy in this year’s holiday season, the company is premiering its unique version of A Christmas Carol, which finds a modern-day widow and anti-humbugger become caught up in her own Zoom puppet show of the Dickens classic. Manual Cinema is performing the show live more than 20 times in December; tickets cost $15.
