“The eyes of an animal when they consider a man are attentive and wary. Other animals are held by the look. Man becomes aware of himself returning the look.” – John Berger
"Let the Dog See the Rabbit" is Lightning Rod Special’s investigation into how we look at animals. Steering clear of pink elephants, paper tigers, early birds and night owls, "Let the Dog See the Rabbit" refuses to restrict animals to the metaphorical margins. Instead we gaze unblinking into the animal eye and reflect what we see there.
This project is directed by LRS Co-Director Mason Rosenthal. The piece will feature a 13-person human ensemble and will run May 13-21st at The Sanctuary space inside The Rotunda in West Philly.
