“Humans face environmental catastrophe in ‘Shinka,’ one of the sunnier plays in this year’s Fringe Festival.”
“Shinka is a journey undertaken by committed performers. It affords an altered perspective by merging several movement viewpoints, sharing in aspects of cultural traditions and striving for a message of unity.”
