DESCRIPTION:Thursday, March 2, at 8 pm (preview), Friday, March 3, at 8 pm, Saturday, 
 March 4, at 8 pm, and Sunday, March 5, at 2 pm\n\nThe world premiere of 
 "Sojourner ZY: An Asian American Science Fiction Fantasy" co-produced by 
 ShadowLight Productions, New Performance Traditions/Paul Dresher Ensemble 
 and the Presidio Theatre will be given March 2-5 at the Presidio Theatre. 
 Sojourner ZY is an original play written by Eugenie Chan with new music 
 composer Paul Dresher performed by ShadowLight Productions in its signature 
 large-scale cinematic shadow theater style directed by Larry Reed.\n\nIn a 
 not-so-distant future, the Earth Federation has sent out spaceships to 
 scour the universe for the resources necessary to sustain an 
 environmentally depleted and damaged Earth. We follow the mission of 
 Sojourner ZY, who pilots the last surviving spacecraft, as he communicates 
 with Earth Federation's Mission Control and with his wife scientist and 
 devoted children, who struggle to survive in Earth's ever-more precarious 
 environment. And as he desperately tries to sack strange new worlds of 
 their resources, he confronts uncomfortable choices and unforeseen 
 consequences. \n \nAudiences will be surrounded in a primal, yet futuristic 
 landscape of sound from composer Dresher's invented instruments, 
 cinematic-scale shadow puppet imagery and a fantastical story that follows 
 the interplanetary journey of the space traveler Sojourner ZY. On his 
 journey, he encounters a dizzying array of uniquely adapted and strange 
 civilizations. The story is told via projected and live shadow sequences 
 with dialogue and songs and seeks to address vital issues of all time-race, 
 gender, identity and the environmental crisis.\n\n$15-$25.\n
