The Urban Every Man: living a life unexamined and unaware of the vibrant, twisted, thrilling world beneath his own feet, until one day those feet take him down Manhattan's rabbit hole...

Suddenly, our hero finds himself in a concrete and steel labyrinth where time stands still, and reality is a relative term. He meets Pan whose mischievous nature leads the Man down paths he'd never dare explore on his own. The Man's arrival sets this alternative world on its ear; and while he encounters creatures beyond his imagination, he must tap into an unknown gift that only he possesses. This gift allows him to negotiate his way past a mechanical doll, a twirling human chandelier, a tragic Queen and three Fates who can't decide whether to eat him or worship him.

What makes Subterranea different from any other theater production you will see in Manhattan? Subterranea is singular because the plot is told mid-air. It is simultaneously intimate and epic - a kind of Fuerza Bruta meets Avatar. And, you won't see any wires, because there are no wires!

The aerial pieces are impressive but not simply because of the athleticism and remarkable visuals. They are the medium used to explore the human canvas - the dark corners of our minds and dreams. Our audience can't help but respond to the characters on a visceral level as they witness the physical struggles and thrilling acrobatics. Smart story telling, beautiful original music, fights, romance, comedy, plus Acrobats - No kidding! This is a one-stop theater experience for anyone who loves a spectacle. Make a night of it! At this price, you won't break the bank. Plan some after-theater eats; you'll have a lot to talk about.
