Beady Little Eyes brings the magic of Vancouver, B.C.'s Mind of a Snail to Portland for one weekend of their show, Caws & Effect!

Crows are re-dreaming the world. Is the future all it's cracked up to be? 
Caws & Effect is a modern fable that explores the unexpected consequences that arise after a crow plants a magical seed. The story is told using handmade layered projections, puppetry, masks, and an original musical score. All aspects of the show are created and performed by two artists: Mind of a Snail’s Chloe Ziner & Jessica Gabriel. Their large-scale shadow puppetry is quirky and beautiful, like an early National Film Board animation performed live before your eyes.
The critics are RAVEN!
