No Need for a Night Light on a Light Night Like Tonight premiered at La MaMa’s First Floor Theatre in New York City from November 19 to 22, 2015, as part of the La MaMa Puppet Series . This multidisciplinary object theatre piece draws inspiration from tongue twisters, reimagining their seemingly nonsensical phrases into a surreal, dreamlike performance. The production features shadow puppetry, animation, and elaborate headpieces, creating a whimsical atmosphere that blurs the line between language and visual art.
