From the show:

The piece weaves Horror Film tropes like 1979’s Amityville Horror with Greek mythology to tell the story of a young couple whose daughter is attacked and kidnapped by spirits in the catacombs of a haunted house. By exposing the mechanics behind the performance’s puppetry, FEAR IN THE WESTERN WORLD offers the audience a sense of observational interactiveness that takes uncomfortable detours through violence, race, and the tool of fear.
