We're playing a lot with shadows early in the game.  They are as beautiful and inspiring as ever...

Once more... with feeling!

Thanks to CalArts, we are back at it!  Edinburgh Fringe 2011 alums Matthew Bamberg-Johnson, Genevieve Gearhart and Alexis Macnab have devised a piece adapted from Nabokov's short story Gods. It's a rich piece, with gorgeous video design by the very talented Manuel Barenboim. 



A young writer strolls with his wife on a beautiful afternoon, telling her wild fables to lighten her heavy heart.  A picture of grief, resilience, and how tragedy opens our eyes to unspeakable beauty, Gods takes us on an emotionally redemptive journey.  With lush video layered over movement and storytelling, the piece explores how we communicate when words are not enough.

We are thrilled to be returning to the Fringe and Venue 13 this year. Last summer we had a blast, and managed to get some pretty nice things said about our shows.  Check out our promo trailers for 

LITTLE EYOLF, by Henrik Ibsen and directed by Julianne Just

and HOTEL DE L'AVENIR, devised and performed by Alexis Macnab.






It's a long way to Scotland, but we've done it before...  
We hope to see you there!
