After three successful years, Cloudgaze Productions returns to present “A Happening IV: LEVIATHAN,” a two-day multi-arts festival immersing participants in a theatrical world of myth, magic and mystery inspired by Moby Dick, Jonah, Zong! and other Nautical tales of Great Whales and shipwrecks.
A true interdisciplinary feat, this festival brings together over 30 local performance artists, actors, musicians, and dancers staging original work as intimate theatrical interactions amidst large-scale installations. Featured Valley performers include actors from Eggtooth Ensemble with co-directors Sam V. Perry, Joshua Ruder, K Adler, and Ashley Kramer bringing their individual expertise to coalesce this cross-medium endeavor.
Separated into two distinct evenings, audiences are invited to spend the weekend inside the belly of the Leviathan, a creature from the deep that has swallowed the Shea. Set within large-scale installations, traditional lines of performance blur as players weave in and out of multiple timelines and narratives. The main theater hosts continuous performances while otherworldly environments and stories unfold throughout the remainder of that building.
Audiences are invited to explore independently and choose their own adventure.
