Step into a realm of darkness and starlight, hope and fear, music and dreams. Join a cast of ethereal characters as they search for meaning amid wishes and nightmares in a dazzling dreamscape of morphing circumstances. Vesper is a surrealistic exploration of humanity’s relationship to the night and the rituals we invoke to heal, find peace, and ward off danger.
Vesper is an experimental, non-linear, devised theatrical performance. Created through several months of collaborative incubation, workshops, and refinement, Vesper harnesses the dialogue of training and creation to present visceral, ensemble-centered theatre.
Rich physicality, poetic text, atmospheric sound, live music, and multimedia weave a vivid, theatrical tapestry of ritual and revelation–prepare to lose your footing and find your light.
