Robin Frohardt: The Plastic Bag Store Immersive Puppet Film

Chicago Puppet Fest presents The Plastic Bag Store. The Festival’s “anchor attraction” is open for the duration of the festival in a street-level storefront in Chicago’s Wrigley Building. New York artist Robin Frohardt’s tragi-comic ode to the foreverness of plastic appears to be a storefront grocery, but it’s actually stocked with hundreds of hand-made items—all crafted from organic NYC trash.
