TWC_Modern Beings in Search of the SoleHow do we find our footing in a world that rocks at every turn? Can we find meaning in the meaningless? And when we do, can we put it on speed dial? Join us on a journey into fantastical worlds where sidewalks never end, but they might find soul.

To heel or to heal – that is the question.

Modern Beings in Search of the Sole is a theatrical piece devised by Solasta Theatre Lab using movement and puppetry to explore the work of Carl Jung. This production has been called “haunting and beautiful at the same time” showcasing “great wordplay and delightful puppets.” Originally debuted in the 2023 Cincinnati Fringe Festival, this remounting features new shadow puppetry, a restructuring of the story, and a deeper dive into what it means to exist in this world.
