SUMMARY:The Revolutionists
DESCRIPTION:Bad luck? No one faces it – or laughs at it – quite like the women of The Revolutionists. This bold\, high-energy comedy blends sharp humor with powerful storytelling\, making it a must-see French Revolution play. \nSet in 1793 Paris during the Reign of Terror\, The Revolutionists delivers a fresh\, female-driven perspective on history. First\, it introduces four fearless women. Then\, it weaves their stories into a fast-paced\, thought-provoking theatrical experience. As a result\, audiences get a “her-storical” comedy that is both hilarious and deeply impactful. \nPerfect for theatre lovers\, history buffs\, and fans of strong female leads\, this production celebrates courage\, resilience\, and the power of women’s voices. Moreover\, its witty dialogue and modern edge make it accessible and engaging for all audiences. \nDon’t miss this unforgettable live theatre event that brings history\, comedy\, and feminism together in one revolutionary performance. \n \nWritten by Lauren Gunderson and directed by Iris Sowlat

SUMMARY:House of DOV
DESCRIPTION:Circle of Apathy: a firmament a fantasia\n“In the beginning there was nothing. Then there was everything.” \nIn Circle of Apathy\, the new dance project from House of DOV with live music from Family Junket\, the ensemble explores the cycles of growth and disintegration intrinsic to nature\, and works together to build physical structures which increase in precarity as the group strives toward expansion. “Through creative process\, we’ve sought to understand our own place within the greater ecology of our landscape\, and to experience the human body as a metaphor and microcosm of the natural world\,” says Drew Lewis\, creative director of House of DOV. \nFamily Junket’s five musicians blare dense soul with moments of ambience: voices wail\, altered by a vocal pedal; saxophone\, flute and violin harmonize over precomposed loops; djembe\, drum kit and percussion punctuate echoing acoustic piano. House of DOV’s seven dancers push against seemingly immovable forces\, find new hand and footholds\, and creep forward like a vine up a brick wall. A woman walks through an increasingly dense wood until the brush closes around her entirely. When all paths disappear from sight\, a figure steps blindly forward\, trusting that there will be a stepping stone beneath their foot.
