Description
The End of the World Cabaret is a new adaptation by Philip Boehm of Austrian Jura Soyfer's 1936 futuristic satire, Weltuntergang, which begins in our solar system, where the sun is directing the dance of the planets. The cosmic system is out of balance, and it seems the earth’s inhabitants are to blame. The planets decide to exact a toll: sending a comet to bump into the planet and rid the world of the pesky earthlings. A window into earth’s activities does not initially bode well, as humans, mired in political misgivings and self-sabotage, meet the impending disaster with doubt, avoidance and inaction. However, upon closer inspection, humanity’s profound beauty and core resilience burns through, and the strange and complex beings of planet earth show they may be worth saving after all… Performances: April 17, 18, 23, 24, 25, 30, May 1, 2 at 7:30 pm April 19 at 7:00 pm April 26 & May 3 at 2:00 pm Directed by Lizi Watt, composed by Paige Brubeck, and with choreography by Dawn Karlovsky.More Information
