Big Dance Theater @FringeArts Theater
This ensemble work of dance, theater, and music is built around the 17th century diaries of Samuel Pepys, a man who sang, strummed, shopped, strove, bullied, and groped—and recorded all of it in his diary. A startling precursor to today’s social media culture, Pepys possessed a compulsion to assign an almost constant real-time meaning to his daily existence. From his bunions to his infidelities to his perversions to his meetings with the King, he obsessively put his daily life on paper, or he felt lost.
Dog Tavern*
According to his diaries, Pepys frequented a favorite establishment in London named Dog Tavern. *There is no Dog Tavern in Philadelphia (yet).

Ghost Rings Half Straddle
@Painted Bride Art Center A tale of friendship, and the intricacies of familymaking, unfurls through a soaring pop song cycle with a mix of deadpan magical realism and feminist worldview. Structured and presented as a live concert, singers Erin Markey and Kristen Sieh—along with their not always trustworthy spirit animals—lead a rock group that’s like a family band of yesteryear. Playing with the possibilities of contemporary drama within a rock show, playwright–director Tina Satter weaves her own childhood with her sister alongside newly imagined stories that explore the powerful energy and great vulnerability of deep, personal relationships.

Hello Blackout
New Paradise Laboratories
@The Proscenium Theatre at The Drake
A horror-farce with philosophical overtones, Hello Blackout! follows the eccentric Kissimmees—triplets, their mother, an elusive father—at the beginning of time. New Paradise Laboratories invents a fresh take on the creation myth, infusing it with playful nonsense in an impossible setting—before, during and after the Big Bang.

HOME
Geoff Sobelle
@Prince Theater
The story of HOME is the life cycle of a house. And the many dreams of home cast upon it. On stage, a house appears. It goes up with the speed of time-lapse photography. Residents move in, move out, get evicted, burn it down, loot it, rent it, remodel it, get married and divorced in it, grow up in it, die in it, haunt it—and all the while, they leave and live among traces of residents present, past, and future. This large-scale performance mixes illusion, choreography, live music, construction, homespun engineering, and live documentary to create the messiness of life that transforms a house into a home.

We Shall Not Be Moved
Opera Philadelphia @Wilma Theater
What’s at stake here is America and its future. Who’s invited to participate? On the run after a series of tragic incidents, five North Philly teens find refuge in an abandoned house in West Philadelphia at the exact location that served as headquarters of the MOVE organization, where a 1985 standoff with police infamously ended with a neighborhood destroyed and eleven people dead, including five children.

A Love Supreme Salva Sanchis & Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker / Rosas @FringeArts Theater
Four dancers surrender themselves to John Coltrane’s spiritual ode to divine love, his 1965 jazz masterpiece A Love Supreme. The album was revolutionary for its carefully balanced interplay between improvisation and structure, meticulous form and raw energy, and the powerful blend of styles expressed by the four soloists— John Coltrane (tenor sax), McCoy Tyner (piano), Jimmy Garrison (bass), and Elvin Jones (drums). This dynamic is transposed onto the dance: the choreographers bring improvised and composed materials, interweaving and absorbing them into one another.

Close Music for Bodies Michael Kiley
@Christ Church Neighborhood House Intimate, unfiltered voices become one. No microphones, no electronic meddling, only the resonant voices that come from the bodies of the performers are heard and felt. The audience is arranged about the entire floor of the theater. Singers move in geometric patterns throughout the audience, their movements become the sound design—like placing speakers about a room, only the speakers are mobile performers.
