Not the More Lovely: A Circus Sideshow by Karen Penley
"the politeness quivers, it's a rickety cage"

September 30th - October 22nd, 2005
Fri-Sat 8pm | $12-15 sliding scale

Not the More Lovely is a circus ride through the manic grin of polite
society into a subterranean world of ferals, glamours and the
insistent mutterings of magic trying to find it's way out. Loosely
based on a new telling of the Pandora's Box myth, it is a
carnivalesque physical theater show with poetic text, animation by
Sean Jones, music by Greg Giles and 20 Minute Loop, Ian Robertson,
and Tunnel of Love, and the lovely performance work and invention of
Gary Dailey, Liz Jahren, Karen Penley, Carrie Peters, Janaki Ranpura,
Julie Reid and Jeff Wagner.

The story will be told through a dreamscape of half remembered images
dredged up from the sub- and unconscious, small jewels glinting in
the dark. It is a land where gargoyles and imps lick up their
delicious and the small sad bursts into bloom.
