Welcome to some higher glimmer in our landscape of flat, an immersive feminist disaster musical. In the event of a metaphysical shift you may be asked to change position. Our journey will bend genres, invite goof, and traverse the double-edged sword of solitude. Settle into your seat for a musical and choreographic exploration of motherhood, isolation, "femininity", and apocalypse (both personal and global). You will provided with all equipment required, and some that is not required.
This world premiere of some higher glimmer in our landscape of flat was produced by Buran Theater at The Collapsable Hole in October 2018. The play was previously workshopped through Buran Theater’s CartHorse Fellowship in 2017-18 at ART/NY and in The Bushwick Starr Reading Series in 2017, featuring Jessica Almasy, Starr Busby, Nikki Calonge, Zoë Geltman, Lindsley Howard, Kristine Haruna Lee, Linda Mancini, April Matthis, Sarah Matusek, Ashley Nease, Colleen O’Neill, and Katie Proulx.
