Welcome, Visitor – come inside. This is Dimension 317, a division of the Zoetropic Galaxy. While solar quakes foretell the coming Vortex, we prepare. Our world is not (or is it?) like yours. Masses suffer from Dimnesia – a condition that suppresses a once vibrant society into joyless dystopia. Beware the void – it seeks suppression. Here, we practice deep sensational sensing of the senses. Come. Learn. Revel in a taste like no other. It is the only way. We need you. Igniting salt, light and sense – help us – help us to survive the storm.

CFF13: VIOLENT AS BIRTH DRAMATIC AS DEATH

VIOLENT AS BIRTH DRAMATIC AS DEATH depicts the internal violence and drama that occurs when one questions stereotyping, impatience, gender complexities, the nature of living, sacrifice and the value of one’s artistry. Through the use of 1950’s educational films we witness that some of the same social norms presented in these films still exist in today’s culture. Freedom from these conditioned ways is the core of this performance art piece and is expressed through the use of film, Shakespeare monologues, original poetry and choreography. This is a protest…and my story.

Cincinnati’s True Theatre, now in its third season, continues to sell out every one of their onenight- only shows, advertising only ‘true stories told by real people’ and a theme. Each of their shows (including trueFEAR, trueFOOLISHNESS, trueHUNGER, and trueLOVE) have drawn storytellers from all walks of life. For the past two years, True Theatre joined the Festival with trueFRINGE, featuring only storytellers associated with the Festival. Back with the same idea, trueFRINGE (“3”) features 5 storytellers (all artists part of the 2013 festival) sharing true, personal stories that will give you that behind-the-scenes look at life in-and-around the theatre that will make you laugh, cry, and shake your head*. Don’t miss the chance to make your Fringe experience complete with this ONE NIGHT ONLY show! (*Laughing, crying, and head-shaking guaranteed).

Barry Sanders, the mostly forgettable roller coaster tycoon you met back in high school, is celebrating his 30th birthday, and you’re invited. Get ready to revisit all of those people you were hoping you’d never have to see again, participate in a series of joyless party games and interact with a cast of sociopaths who showed face tonight for their own selfish reasons. This is one shitty party, and it wouldn’t be the same without you. This immersive, interactive piece from the twisted minds of Endless Chili Productions will have you wishing you never RSVPed, “Yes.”
