Ishi’s Brain – A puppet adaptation of the graphic novel Songs of the Abyss, with Eamon Espey and Lisa Krause .
Accompanying the release of his newly published graphic novel Songs Of The Abyss (Secret Acres) Eamon Espey collaborated with puppeteer Lisa Krause in the adaptation of one of the chapters Ishi's Brain for a puppet show. Ishi’s Brain is based on the true story of a man that has often been referred to as “the last wild Indian.” Krause and Espey’s version turns the story into a science fiction ritual where a lone spirit spends his final days and an alien shaman helps guide the dead into the next world.
…then a musical interlude by cartoonists’ Leela Corman and Maddie Fix. Followed by  music by the Smacks!
