2016...
A TURBULENCE OF MUSES; a symbolist ritual with eight
players
representing
diverse
aspects of one entity, the poet Arthur Rimbaud,
undergoing
a
systematic
derangement
of
all
the senses towards
the
creation
of
poetry. A living ritual dressed up as experimental
theatre, an insurrection of the Poetic Imagination!
THE CAST
SYLVI ALLI as Rimbaud...
the Dream Ego in constant pursuit of intoxicating states of spirit
possession
by a ritualistic derangement of all the senses!
BRANDT STICKLEY, MEMORIE EDEN, HANK PETERSON
as The Dreamers...
a Family of Spirits in kinship with Rimbaud.
WENDY ALLEGAERT as Krunk...
Rimbaud's Inner Critic as Clown.
LD McCLURE as Tubehead...
an Unconscious Oracle who falls in love with Krunk!
WES MARTUSEWICZ as Raven...
the Spirit of the Poetic Imagination has a direct line to the Voice!
KATESSA HARKEY as The Voice...
a Disembodied Entity vocalizing Rimbaud's poems.
The Poems
Mystic
Marine
Flowers
Fairy
Motion
Morning of Drunkeness
VIDEO DOCUMENT OF THE PERFORMANCE
Someone asked me what this show is about. It's a bit of a
wild
party
fraught with dour clown conversions, drunken waltzes,
hyper-aromatic
flowers, sublime poetics and whatever orchestrated chaos erupts
from the underlying rituals every night. - Antero Alli, director
