A Vista presented by Fight With a Stick March 20 – 22
An update: we have UNLIMITED FREE tickets for d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing folks who would like to attend. They simply need to email me at mia.susan.amir@gmail.com.
Fight With a Stick presents A Vista, the ultimate theatre experience of making the background the main performer. https://www.masseytheatre.com/event/a-vista/
Over three nights in March, dozens of painted backdrops become the main attraction as the company works the antique hemp-rope rigging system to animate the beautifully painted settings. Up to fifteen backdrops are in action at one time, each one playing off the next in a unique visual choreography of canvass, pipe, rope, sound and lights.
During the three-day event, a “crew” of performers and designers animate 45 backdrops working to partner with the collective movement possibilities of the hemp house rigging system and the drops it holds. Each evening will focus on a different formal elements of the painted backdrops:
Weds. Mar. 20th – Full Drops
Thurs. Mar. 21st – Portals
Fri. Mar. 22nd – Legs.
The drops are openly handled and revealed in an ever-changing installation sequence in which no transition or backdrop is given more attention than any other.
Tickets:
Accessibility:
This is a visually-driven performance without spoken text. This show is accessible to Deaf and Hard of Hearing audiences. We are currently confirming ASL Interpretation for interpretation of the sound design and for Front of House.
