Description: "Things puppets can do to us: charm, deceive, captivate, fool, trick, remind, amuse, distract, bore, repulse, annoy, puzzle, transport, provoke, fascinate, stand in for, kill." In You, Me, and the Violence, Catherine Taylor pairs puppetry and drone warfare to create a collage of meditations on family, politics, violence, autonomy, and, ultimately, hope.
Review Quotes: "This is a poetics of daring redeemed from the experimental, a philosophy of caring reclaimed from equivocation. You, Me, and the Violence is the imagination fleshed out, reengaged with the most serious urgencies of contemporary living." --Ed Pavlic, author of Let's Let That Are Not Yet: Inferno
