Standing room only crowds were enchanted by their work at TBA:07 and at they were a stand out at the 2007 Platform Animation Festival. This special commission by PICA and Leslie B. Durst (with additional support from REDCAT and NPN) debuts right here in Portland before heading out into the world. Please join us for one of three shows at Leftbank, this Sunday only!
