Sean Devare is a Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary fine artist, director, writer and performer. Through his dual Asian American diasporic lenses, his performance pieces explore cultural hybridization by reinterpreting folklore and mythology via ancient artistic techniques and practices from mask-carving and puppetry to Carnatic violin. As an artist-in-residence and visiting faculty in theatre at Williams College he recently co-directed performed in SHAKUNTALA: a remix, featuring live music and his original puppet designs in three immersive environments. His ongoing solo project First Violin was developed and produced at HERE Arts Center and Mabou Mines. This was his second time at KinoSaito after collaborating on DIVINE GENERATIONS vol. 02 (Leah Ogawa).
