A fable out of time told with artist-made puppets and archival film clips, The Case of the Vanishing Gods is a new kind of hybrid: half dream / half document. Under hypnosis, a tortured ventriloquist’s dummy recovers his lost memories, which relate a cultural history of ventriloquism from the prophetic tradition to the modern horror film. Join this tragic hero on his strange journey into the hidden lives of puppets, and the collective unconscious that links them to our own lives.

Featuring the voices of David Isaacson and Jeff Dorchen, and puppets by Arthur Quisto, Julia Zanes, and Blair Thomas
Puppetry by Audrey Densmore, Karl Herlinger, Eli Presser, Michael Serwich, Jeff Speetjens
