We can=92t promise a complete performance, but there will be refreshments and it=92s an excuse to have=20 fun and see friends. The =93Rapture Project=94 is a new Great Small Works show using Sicilian marionette-style puppets and the scary outlines of the fundamentalist Christian sense of apocalypse, in order to think about what=92s going on around us. We have also been looking at Esther Kaplan=92s book With God on Their Side (about fundamentalism and the Bush regime), and also thinking about such characters as an abstinence-only=20 youth counselor, Muslim squatter punks from Buffalo, a Bernie Kerik-type guy, an Ohio housewife in J-Lo running suit, a Devil, a Susan-Sontag angel, etc. A lot of these characters will transform into=20 battle armor for Sicilian-marionette-style epic battles=85 Another level of the show is a heaven inspired by the Cockettes, particularly the op-art backdrops of Jalila, and the larger-than-life characters created by Hibiscus et al. Does it all sound confusing? Hmmm=85. Come check out what=20 we=92ve been doing and help us make episodes of the show, etc. Or just=20 come by and say hello=85 Questions?: John Bell 617 599 3250; Jenny Romaine 626 207 5525. _______________________________________________ List address: puptcrit-AT-lists.driftline.org Admin interface: http://lists.driftline.org/listinfo.cgi/puptcrit-driftline.org
