The Sibyl
(runs Aug 4th-7th, 1999)
Adapted from the novel by Nobel Laureate Pär Lagerkvist, Theatre Labyrinth's
searching tale is told by an excommunicated monk who questions the idea of
a benevolent divinity.
"...a remarkable performance.... expressed from deep within the performer's
body...."
—Frank Green, The Cleveland Free Times
|
The Warbling Carousel
In 1996, twelve artists from across the US, Canada, Bolivia and Brazil converged
in Cleveland to investigate human group dynamics and examine the evidence
and effects of extraterrestrial contact: The Warbling Carousel.
"Theatre Labyrinth has created a delightful sensory experience that has all
the seductive and disorienting spectacle of a carnival." —Toni K. Thayer,
The Cleveland Free Times

Never Speak to Strangers
This wicked excursion into Never Never Land twists and twirls J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan into a devilish delight.
"...delightful, oddball theatricality" —Linda Eisenstein The Plain Dealer
|
Transformations Of Lucius
Reliving a night of delirious visions, an ambitious young Lucius makes a
"Golden Ass" of himself in a botched attempt at spiritual flight.
"They have the pure intentions of Mother Teresa, the innocence of Pooh, the
fearless push of Picasso, and the explosive energy of Judy Garland. . .
.[Transformations of Lucius] is the very essence of wonder." —Keith
Joseph, Scene Magazine

Frankenstein's Wake
Inspired by Mary Shelley's classic tale of horror, Frankenstein's Wake tells
this story of desire and desolation through poetry, dance, song, and startling
visual imagery.
"An exhilarating bravura performance." —Glenn Speer, Time Out New York
|
Innana's Descent
A journey into the underworld based on the world's oldest recorded goddess
myth.
"The inevitability of death and our fear of it inform. . . [Inanna's Descent].
. . and make us suddenly aware that this ancient story is about ourselves."
—Marianne Evett, The Plain Dealer
