Blending live music, physical comedy, object manipulation, aerial acrobatics and film projection.
Grammy Award-winning tenor Aaron Sheehan and aerialist/recovering opera singer Elizabeth Munn collaborate on a new physical theater production at the historic Slipper Room on Manhattan's Lower East Side.
An absurd and whimsical exploration of adornment from dearth to excess and back again, this evening length work draws inspiration from the parallel written patterns of weather and Baroque dance. How do these cyclical patterns both mimic and govern the expectation of our expression and movement through the world? What limitations do we experience because of these expectations? We examine the isolation of archetype and assumption through the imagined modern lives of the Furies, giving way to a discovery of connection, adventure and reinvention. Blending live music, physical comedy, object manipulation, aerial acrobatics and film projection, the cast includes drummer Cory Cox and bassist Zwelakhe-Duma Bell le Pere.
