Theater, story, movement, music, and visual image—all bringing you—the Politico, a folkie, the returning vet, a woman who's lost her voice . . . and one uncertain girl who finds the courage to act.
Minnesota performance artist Rachel Nelson brings her theatrical cabaret After Leaving Eden to the 2009 Spirit in the House Festival after 2008 appearances at the National Storytelling Network Fringe in Gatlinburg, TN and the KC Fringe Festival in Kansas City, MO.
Songs, stories, scenes and poems introduce characters living questions both personal and political.
Meet the devilish cabaret singer, the laid-back folk musician, the woman who has lost her voice, the Washington advisor who pulls an audience member up for a “5-minute political makeover.” Meet the returning Iraq vet, the redwood tree-sitter.
As their intersecting stories unfold, what questions do you want to live?
(See audience Questions from 2007 MN Fringe Festival run.)
After Leaving Eden began as the 2007 Minnesota Fringe show Living the Questions. Extensively reworked for its 2008 performances, this collaboration features video entr’actes by director Kym Longhi, photographs by Chante Wolf, and percussion by Linda Melcher. Read company bios here.
