“An intricate piece of live-action sculpture ... marvelous mechanical props ... ghostly video projections ... fabulous costumes ... the ethereal score ... the quintet of energetic actors.  [This] action-packed hourlong amusement won't let you down.”
-- Doug MacCash, The Times-Picayune

“The audience loved it. The house was packed ... and the crowd lapped up every moment, even demanding two curtain calls.”
-- Dalt Wonk, Gambit Weekly

“The hit of the show, hands down, was the ambitious and eventually awesome ‘Flight,’ conceived and designed by sculptor-set designer Jeff Becker ... a genius at imagining and constructing large, astonishing stage settings.”
-- David Cuthbert, The Times-Picayune

Local award-winning performance companies ArtSpot Productions and Mondo Bizarro present FLIGHT, the new performance extravaganza featuring performer-activated machines, film projection, song, and live theatre that explores mankind's enduring dream of flight and the unforeseen consequences of the pursuit of that dream.

The brainchild of award-winning sculptor Jeff Becker, FLIGHT collages characters and ideas inspired by the mythical and historical manifestations of man's irrespressible urge to fly, and by the all-too-frequent need to flee disasters of our own making.  Stunning visuals, live music and dazzling physical performances merge to create a fantasia that will encourage you to consider the ways in which the phenomenon of flight has touched your life, your city, your country and the world.

This project would not have been possible without the immense support of NOCCA|Riverfront and the NOCCA Institute.  Flight is also supported by grants from the CAC's Theatre Arts Fund, the Lupin Foundation, and by a grant from the Louisiana Division of the Arts, Office of Cultural Development, Department of Culture, Recreation & Tourism, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council, as administered by the Arts Council of New Orleans.  Funding has also been provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, a Federal agency.
