ROSE WAGNER - LEONA WAGNER BLACK BOX THEATRE
Interdisciplinary Arts Collective – a local experimental group of musicians, dancers, poets, artists, and anti-artists – is here to tell you Bedtime Stories.
Join us as we venture into the dark, dark woods. Together we will explore the nature of fairy tales, the journeys of heroes, and the archetypal frameworks we build to understand, guide, and/or subvert our personal and communal histories.
The evening will take us through a surreal phantasmagoria of movement, music, projection art, sculpture, and poetry. Like any good fairy tale, this one begins with Once Upon a Time and ends with Happily Ever After (or blood and guts). The show is divided into a series of short chapters, structured via the Aarne-Thomspon-Uther folktale type index as a scaffold upon which we allow fairy tales old and new to collide and distill into their most basic storytelling elements. How do we tell stories about the past? About our fears? About our wildest dreams? And in those stories, who is assigned the role of villain, knight in shining armor, or the lost child in the forest?
Spirits lurk at the edges of the stage. Wolves are at the door. The lights are getting low. It’s almost time to begin.
