Gabriel’s Corner

Written and performed by Sadie Bowman & Ricky Coates

Directed by Llysa Holland

The radical story of Madame Marie Curie–a persistent woman who changed our understanding of the universe. From childhood in Russian occupied Poland–where education of women was a crime–to rocking the world as the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, core chemistry concepts become lyrical metaphor in a radioactive musical of discovery. By creators of “Tesla Ex Machina” and “Calculus: The Musical!”

CFF18: THE BUREAU

Art Academy Studio

Book, music and lyrics by Tatum Hunter
Music arranged and performed by Daniel Zimmer
Directed by Carolyn Guido Clifford

Cast: Maya Farhat & Tatum Hunter

The year is 2030, and a not-so-competent New World Older has seized control of the globe. Two low-level bureaucrats arrive in town to conduct a reeducation workshop – but their PowerPoint dies. Speaking off script for the first time and facing a gruesome punishment, the two must find meaning in the midst of a delightfully absurd corporate hellscape – before it’s too late.

CFF18: BLOOM

Gabriel’s Corner
[Over-the-Rhine]

Inspired by the kinetic-driven, “movement as plot” writings of David Ohle’s 1972 cult-classic, Motorman, bloom is a rapid unfolding of three dancers, colliding softly and recklessly with one another, in an unadorned space. Composed by three-time grammy award winner Bob Lanzetti with Ross Pederson. The work cradles and rocks the viewers, inviting them in with each blind-faith fall, cling and catch.
