Venus
Vulcan Mars is a Rashomon-like retelling of the mythological
love triangle between Venus, her husband Vulcan, and Mars, her lover.
Each god gets a chance to tell his/her version of the story!
Kathy Randels plays Venus, J
Hammons is Vulcan, and special guest artist Joseph
Meissner is Mars. Sources include stories from Greek and Roman
mythology, and poetry by New Orleans poet Andy Young, and
members of Moving Humans
Performance Group.
Incorporating
narrative, surreal characters and fantastic scenarios, The Dancing
Dwarf is a staging of the Haruki Murakami short story
of the same name. The dancing dwarf and the beautiful woman from
Section 8 entice the elephant factory worker with the ultimate question.
It's Rumplestiltskin in recently-made-red Russia. The two pieces
are woven together with set and objects by Jeff Becker and
original music composed and performed by Sean LaRocca.
