Synopsis

Family Story is an exploration of why we are the way we are, how we got that way and whether or not there is anybody to blame for our current condition. A larger than life, surreal and colourful series of family portraits, inspired by the work of department store photographers, Polka Dot Door, Little Golden Book illustrations and muppets. It’s 200 years of family history in 100 minutes, complete with mythical beasts, animal puppets and a massive, felt-covered rubik’s cube. (ticketweb.ca)
