RAPTURE
|
March 7 - 22, 2014
Nimbus Theater 1517 Central Ave NE Minneapolis, MN Written and Directed by Tanner Curl Created with Umbrella Collective and the ensemble In an instant, a tenth of the world’s population quietly vanishes. The media emerges with a theory that those disappeared were artists and dub the event ‘The Artist Rapture’. Two of those left behind are Evelyn, a successful and reclusive painter, and her granddaughter Lucy, a free-spirited performance art student. In the aftermath, they struggle to make sense of what this means for their careers and why they weren’t taken. Evelyn is visited by the specter of a former lover, Thomas Kinkade. This dark comedy explores how artists approach their work and our desire to define and create art. ASL Interpreted performance on Friday, March 21st at 7:30 PM Rapture by Tanner Curl from Umbrella Collective on Vimeo. Thank you, Minnesota!
This activity is the recipient of a generous grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council and is funded, in part, by appropriations from the Minnesota State Legislature with money from the State’s general fund, and its arts and cultural heritage fund. |
