Description

Show Times: 12:00 pm–12:30 pm and 2:00 pm–2:30 pm (both Saturday and Sunday)

Shabazz B. Spacely’s Cabinet of Intergalactic Curiosities is an immersive Afrofuturist theater experience, blending ancient Egyptian and Yoruba mythology with science fiction themes. The show combines shadow puppetry, video, choreography, and sound design to transport children on an interstellar adventure to the distant universe known as the TRiPTIC.

In this interactive performance, young explorers board a spaceship to the strange new planet of Teluron Prime. As they navigate through its Sonic Forests, they’re challenged with discovering mysterious alien creatures. These elusive beings can only be coaxed from hiding when the audience performs specific sounds, body movements, and gestures. What incredible life forms will you encounter in the wilderness of this mythical world?

Join us for this imaginative intergalactic journey, created and directed by musician and educator Kwame Brandt-Pierce. After the show, continue your cosmic exploration in our ColorLab art studio. Create your own decoder glasses to uncover hidden clues scattered throughout the Museum and explore further into the TRiPTIC!
