Fever Theater
PERFORMING AT SOMEDAY
Saturday, Feb 17 › 8pm › $10
Hand2Mouth Theater, Fever Theater, Iretsu, with DJ Brokenwindow
Three troupes at the forefront of experimental theater have claimed this evening to present three interrelated new works. Part of the scene of performers that is wildly cross-pollinating in the upper floors of the Portland Art Center, this triumverate is united by their fusion of physical and comic stage traditions with the stylized speech and staging of postmodernism. Strictly 21st-century, evocative at once of the oldest traditions (commedia, kabuki, clown) and the newest (Brecht, Wilson, Foreman). Earlier works by this approximate collaborative assembly include the musical play Mitlaufer, and the performative installation Catacombs. What will they call this one, I wonder?
About the artist
Fever Theater is a colossus in peasant's clothing, a throbbing juggernaut of catharsis sneakily sheathed in subjective dungarees and a loose-knit sweater of thought-provocation. We are a theater of metamorphosis, kidnapping our audiences, spoiling them with gifts of every medium whilst changing their world into a place of unexpected delights. We stretch our skin as tight as canvas to envelop audiences in our chrysalis. We transform traditional theater into a contemporary ritual that haunts dreams and "moves beyond pure spectacle into the realm of genuine experience." Our environments are collaboratively built by an ensemble of theater artists and designers who take nothing for granted, who build everything from scratch, and who love nothing more than rearranging your mind.
