Mind of a Snail Puppet Co. are a shadow puppet duo from the West Coast of B.C. Canada.  Since 2003, Jessica Gabriel and Chloé Ziner have been developing a multilayered style of visual storytelling using an overhead projector (OHP) as their main light source.   Their performances combine originally crafted puppets, music, masked characters, recycled waste, and eclectic experimentations in lighting and timing.   Mind of a Snail colourfully exposes cultural quirks by developing simple stories around ideas that represent human's interconnectedness with what is natural, what is artificial, and where everything blurs in between.   This “Compost~Modern” approach is being developed by Mind of a Snail into a mesmerizing art form that dazzles audiences of all ages.
