“Thirsty” just wants a drink of Water! But first they must explore a myriad of questions contained in that one precious sip.
Please join us for Are You Thirsty?, a revival of the dynamic 2008 performance by In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre*. This family-friendly performance ignites us to see ourselves as relatives of Water, bringing many current Water issues vibrantly to life, and encouraging our important and joyful participation in taking care of Water.
Performed by Lora Pedersen and Spencer Polk, directed by Sandy Spieler, and music by Greg Herriges.
Cost: Pay-as-you-can
*Many thanks to In the Heart of the Beast Theatre.
Are You Thirsty? is a 2-person performance crafted by Sandy Spieler, Esther Ouray and Laurie Witzkowski from some of the most vital images and educational aspects of the large performance trilogy of Invigorate the Common Well 2006-2007. As such, many artists contributed to the design, creation, research and content of the work. Most notably: Malia Burkhart for the scenes about Water Quantities in the world and the “Strawberries in Winter” scene; Masa Kawahara for the development of “Thirsty” as a character; Bart Buch; and Julie Boada, Malia Burkhart, Masa Kawahara, Esther Ouray, Sandy Spieler, José Maquin Gutierrez, Blake Love, Tweet, and Aditi Brennen Kapil for the “Rain Rain” sequence.
