Loss Machine, The

Synopsis:
everything is somewhere. Part installation, part image-driven theater, Loss Machine unearths a world of lost items, misplaced thoughts, and fractured journeys all housed within an intricately detailed set. Intimate in scale, this wistful one-man show combines puppets, objects, sound, and original music, in a visual exploration of loss and discovery. In a tower filled with life's debris, a collection of characters move through an ever-changing apparatus with their shared emotional journey driving the mechanical process forward. Digging through layers of the everyday and the fantastical, the piece examines what is found when all has been lost. Kyle Loven returns to Flint & Tinder after his acclaimed 2010 work, my dear Lewis.

When You Point at the Moon

Synopsis:
An eastern moon myth warns children to "Never point at the moon or the moon will cut your ears off!" Inspired by this warning, the piece follows a young boy, the moon, and the fateful gesture that brings them together. Told in the spirit of a surreal cautionary tale for adults, this one-man show blends puppetry, sound effects, and a live actor.
