Synopsis

A wacky allegorical comedy inspired by the myths of Pandora and Prometheus mixed with modern cartoon references. Epth is deposited on a quiet beach by a mysterious ferryman and then encounters a succession of zany characters, each prodding him on toward some elusive self discovery. It is performed with a cast of five and a chorus of dancer/spirits that chant and move constantly through the space.
