Cave Dogs' ARCHEOLOGY OF A STORM Runs At Woodstock Fringe 8/29 Thru 9/5

ARCHEOLOGY OF A STORM, performed by Cave Dogs, runs at Woodstock Fringe: 2009 Festival of Theatre and Song from August 29 to September 5. The show is directed by Suzanne Stokes.

An ensemble of nine artists from diverse disciplines create a rich and haunting multi-media theatre experience by creating larger-than-life shadow puppets behind a 20-foot wide screen with video projections on the front. The puppets and images, made from sculptures, props, costumes and the human body, move in concert with projected video imagery, spoken narrative and an original soundtrack. This is a tragic comedy informed by the themes of pacifism, activism, materialism and poverty. Living in the same apartment building during World War I, the 1960's and the present, three generations balance their inherited legacies with the conflicts of their present conditions. In the face of a storm, the characters' funny and sometimes poignant devotion to each other and their ideals lead them to unexpected resolutions.

Performances are August 29 at 2:00pm, August 30 at 8:00pm, September 4 at 8:00pm, and September 5 at 8:00pm. A discussion with the Cave Dogs ensemble will follow each performance.

Woodstock Fringe is a professional performing arts organization that develops and presents new and experimental theatrical and musical works. We believe the act of creation is an act of courage. The Fringe serves as a home to emerging and established artists. Acting as a safe harbor, we provide a collaboration between the artists and the audience pursuing the highest standard of live performance.
