The Carpetbag Brigade, YOU DON’T KNOW JACK
A surreal and comic nightmare, this original work of physical theatre is a witches’ brew of unsettling stage images, live original and traditional music, and contemporary dance. Delivering deftly wrought physical comedy and choreography, You Don’t Know Jack lands its audiences in a Jungian dream world full of distorted fairy tales and dark humor.
“The Carpetbag Brigade of San Francisco are a company not to be ignored; and they’re presenting this most extreme and mind blowing of all the shows on this year’s Fringe about the damaging impact of war.” - Joyce McMillan, The Guardian, Edinburgh , Scotland
Hand2Mouth Theatre’s UNDINE
“Electro-sorceress of sound” Faith Helma and Hand2Mouth present a song cycle inspired by the fairy tale anti-heroine, Undine, featuring delicate melodies, live loops and wicked beats. A lonely water creature finds a microphone, and an enchanted girl lost between night and the dawn of day sings her heart out.
“Hand2Mouth has the kind of promise, fearlessness and energy that the American theater needs, and should encourage.” – Misha Berson, Seattle Times
