# Event Details - **Event Name**: “UNRAVELING” by Shadow Girls Cult with Puppet Pants - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 18 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Saturday, April 18 at 7:00 PM (doors 6:30 PM), 120-minutes with intermission Tickets are available for $20 in advance, $25 at the door, and $30 for preferred seating (pay-what-you-can available) Recommended ages 16+, mature themes, shadow puppet representation of violence and blood in one segment ---- "Unraveling" is the newest series of shadow vignettes from Henson Grant-awarded duo Shadow Girls Cult. Using a mind-bending blend of light techniques, old-school overhead projectors, shadow masks and hundreds of intricate and layered shadow puppets, Shadow Girls Cult creates short, live animated films for audiences around the U.S. Infused with elements of sci-fi, film noir, classic horror, and surrealism, "Unraveling" explores the inexplicable moments in time when we, or the world around us, seem to come apart. Every story is connected by a thread, and the thread is unraveling. The show begins with themes of yearning, curiosity and wonder, moves through fractured identity and grief, and ends with a dream sequence. Seamlessly blended, "Unraveling" touches on the echo of a question: Is the world—and by extension, are we—destined to always, always come apart at the seams? Shadow Girls Cult is an award-winning queer shadow puppetry and projections duo based out of Seattle, WA. Using overhead projectors, adapted camera irises, 2-D shadow puppets, human silhouettes, and other analog technology, they create puppet magic for audiences all over the U.S. The Directors of the performance share, "As queer creators, we see ourselves in these characters: tragic, powerful, full of potential. "Unraveling" is a reminder that even the most broken parts of ourselves are stories unfolding, and they deserve to be told." The evening will begin with a wordless—and slightly odd—marionette variety show by Puppet Pants, featuring clowns, monsters, and other mysterious creatures that perform tricks and interact with the audience to an all original soundtrack. The Atlanta Fringe Festival called it, “weird, whimsical, and oddly moving.” - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/portland/unraveling-by-shadow-girls-cult-with-puppet-pants/200029625288921 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, festivals, music-festivals, art, sports, workshops, music, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 7 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/mayostreetarts/2038750/r/fbevent?utm_source=AllEvents.in&utm_medium=event-discovery-platform&utm_campaign=portland-events ## Event venue details - **city**: Portland - **state**: ME - **country**: United States - **location**: 10 Mayo St, Portland, ME, United States, Maine 04101 - **lat**: 43.66279 - **long**: -70.25435 - **full address**: 10 Mayo St, Portland, ME, United States, Maine 04101 ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 2 - **organizer**: Mayo Street Arts (https://allevents.in/org/mayo-street-arts/1907204) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/bfa823e3e0cb51d878e81410c0134c7f611adc66d39a3b6f499b1d9aa3322ced-rimg-w1200-h382-dcb98cd0-gmir?v=1775296487 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/0f4ce69377101044a44d60494e832fa03f35552ae791cd5e211b43834fbcea77-rimg-w300-h300-dcb98bcf-gmir?v=1775296488 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Sat, 18 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-04:00) - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** 10 Mayo St, Portland, ME, United States, Maine 04101 - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Mayo Street Arts - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** entertainment, festivals, music-festivals, art, sports, workshops, music, literary-art - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about “UNRAVELING” by Shadow Girls Cult with Puppet Pants ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "“UNRAVELING” by Shadow Girls Cult with Puppet Pants", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/bfa823e3e0cb51d878e81410c0134c7f611adc66d39a3b6f499b1d9aa3322ced-rimg-w1200-h382-dcb98cd0-gmir?v=1775296487", "startDate": "2026-04-18T19:00:00-04:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/portland/unraveling-by-shadow-girls-cult-with-puppet-pants/200029625288921", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "10 Mayo St, Portland, ME, United States, Maine 04101", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "10 Mayo St, Portland, ME 04101-3110, United States", "addressLocality": "Portland", "addressRegion": "ME", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "43.66279", "longitude": "-70.25435" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Saturday, April 18 at 7:00 PM (doors 6:30 PM), 120-minutes with intermission\n\nTickets are available for $20 in advance, $25 at the door, and $30 for preferred seating (pay-what-you-can available)\n\nRecommended ages 16+, mature themes, shadow puppet representation of violence and blood in one segment", "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Mayo Street Arts", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/mayo-street-arts/1907204", "description": "Mayo Street Arts strives to strengthen its neighborhood and community by providing a haven for the arts that is vibrant, safe, and inspiring; and to engage area youths of diverse cultural communities in robust participation in the visual, performing, and literary arts." } ] } ] ```
