SONNETS FOR AN OLD CENTURY
JUNE 15-25
BY JOSE RIVERA
DIRECTED BY ELIZABETH DINKOVA
If you had one last chance to broadcast your story into the universe, what would you say?
José Rivera’s Sonnets for an Old Century captures the psychic residue of ten lives in ten intimate, searing encounters in the afterlife. In this immersive production, audience members journey through the landscape of each character’s mind to experience their most treasured memories, clandestine confessions, and climactic revelations. This experiential DMV premiere, which utilizes the full architectural potential of Spooky Action’s home at the Universalist National Memorial Church, offers a kaleidoscopic vision of the joy and pain of the human condition.
LUCY JUGGLES:
A PERFORMANCE OF CIRCUS, SELF AND OTHER
NOV 6,7,13,14
BY LUCY EDEN
DIRECTED BY ELIZABETH DINKOVA
How do you juggle your past, present, and future selves without dropping the ball?
In her one-woman autobiographical busking show, Lucy Eden interweaves circus, humor, poetry, and personal narrative to explore identity, gender, and our capacity for transformation.
“Lucy Juggles: a performance of Circus, Self and Other” is an origin story, chronicling a journey of gradual self-discovery: fear, repression, acceptance, and celebration of the authentic self. This love letter to the liberating power of performance includes juggling, knives, unicycles, and fire.
Lucy Eden is a veteran Atlanta performance artist, unicyclist, juggler and transgender visibility advocate. With a background in street performance, her passion for bringing circus arts to pedestrian spaces has been life-long. She has performed in solo and ensemble productions in Atlanta, and across the US. Her shows combine storytelling, virtuosity, and a unique queer southern charm.
