Forsaken / Cause and Effect, is a dance puppet experience that blends rod puppets, marionettes, dance, acrobatics, and video. This project explores themes linked to the natural environment, aiming to shed light on the interconnectedness between humans and animals while showcasing the beauty and fragility of our shared world. The aim is to evoke conceptual images that investigate human displacement and the conservation of endangered animal species. Through our work, we seek to highlight the intricate relationship between the natural environment and its impact on the animal kingdom and human condition.

Forsaken / Cause and Effect, like other productions by Loco7, delves into the realm of the spectator's psyche without relying on explicit text narratives. Instead, this visual performance employs movement and visual elements to convey the unspoken emotions of distress and detachment.
