<h4>
</h4><h4>A captivating theatrical journey masterfully brought to life by the talented quartet of Isabelle Kralj, Mark Anderson, Alessandro Renda, and Rok Vilčnik, HERETHEREWHERE is a mesmerizing exploration of diverse countries, cultures, stories, and languages. A hybrid theatrical construction of dialogue, monologue, music, movement and video, this performance takes its audience on a thrilling ride through the chaos and unpredictability of a world marked by solitude, existential bewilderment, and a sense of loss.</h4>

<h4>Kralj and Anderson, Artistic Directors of Theatre Gigante, entered into this collaboration with Renda, of Italy’s Albe/Ravenna Teatro, in 2019. Progress on the work was halted by the pandemic, but got back on track in 2023 as the trio was joined by Slovenian playwright, poet, and novelist, Rok Vilčnik, who now serves as director of the project.</h4>

<h4>Onstage, three clown-like figures, their memories obscured, navigate an uncertain present with no clear vision of the future. Trapped in a surreal moment, they have received an enigmatic invitation to a party, ignorant of the day, location, or time. The mystery unfolds as they engage in both absurd attempts to unravel its secrets and deliver poetic monologues that delve into contemporary dilemmas. The blend of amusing and perplexing dialogues will keep the audience entertained and guessing.</h4>

<h4>HERETHEREWHERE runs for one weekend in Milwaukee, and will subsequently tour to Italy, for a Fall run in Ravenna.</h4>
