SHELL follows a Slug and a Snail who journey to find a new shell when the Snail’s shell is broken in a storm. Composed of different vignettes, audiences will practice phonetics, play with causality and object permanence against the backdrop of a story performed in Spanish and English, and touches on migration and community / SHELL sigue a una babosa y un caracol que viajan para encontrar un nuevo caparazón cuando el caparazón del caracol se rompe en una tormenta. Compuesto por diferentes viñetas, el público practicará la fonética, jugará con la causalidad y la permanencia del objeto en el contexto de una historia que se representará en español e inglés y tocará la migración y la comunidad.
