Mad Lab: An Evening of Works-In-Progress
“The Saga of Spantsa: a herstorical comedy!”, created and performed by Dell’Arte Company member and faculty member Zuzka Sabata, is a character and story-telling piece about the life of Olive Oatman, the first white tattoed woman in the Americas. Olive witnessed the murder of her family at the age of fourteen while travelling through the southern Arizona desert in search of the Mormon mythical paradise, the Land of Bashan, in 1851. Created by and featuring Dell’Arte alumnus Pratik Motwani as well as faculty member James Peck and staff member Sarah Peters, “Goloconda” makes its stage debut. Three clowns wake up on a boat stranded in a dried up ocean bed finding themselves the sole survivors out of thousands that once were, directionless and lost in the center of the Great Draught. How did they get there? Where were they heading? Where did the others go? Thirst and hunger create mirages of tangential reality, a world in which they now live and search for hope. This Dark Comedy explores themes of cannibalism, global warming, desolation, survival and hope. Suitable for ages 12 and up.
