Sum: A Shadow Puppet Reading of David Eagleman's
Tales from the Afterlives at the Toronto Fringe
What happens after you die? You may find that God is the size of a microbe, or that heaven is just as dull as the suburbs. You may be reincarnated as a horse, or find out you were never alive at all. Are you the sum of what you've done, or what you could have been? At once unnerving, funny, and beautiful, David Eagleman's "SUM" short stories are brought to life through shadow puppetry, projections, and live music. Will cause a desire to go home and cut out puppets, but will also remind you of your impending mortality. Prepare accordingly.
