*Ghosts of the River *is *ShadowLight Productions' *latest multidisciplinary shadow theatre project created in collaboration with the company's Artistic Director/shadow master Larry Reed, award-winning playwright Octavio Solis and acclaimed printmaker/Latino
community activist, Favianna Rodriguez. Exploring the contentious US/Mexican border immigration issues from highly localized and personal points of view, the project is inspired by Solis' personal experience growing up in El Paso, Texas, and his recent extensive interviews with residents, immigrants (legal or otherwise), their families, law enforcement officers and immigration lawyers in the city. In 6 short Twilight Zone like vignettes, *Ghosts of the River *will bring shadowy figures and memories of Solis' past to life, illuminated by Larry Reed's innovative cinematic shadow casting
method. *Ghosts of the River *workshop presentations will offer a sneak preview of this exciting project and a rare glimpse into the collaborative process of making a unique shadow theatre.
