NOUVEAU SUD | VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS GUEST ARTIST SERIES
TBA
 
The Nouveau Sud Circus Project has embarked on a new creative journey to address an issue that we are called to respond to as artists and as a company centered on people of the global majority -  gun violence and how we are affected by it. For over two decades we have seen an increase in the unfortunate and terrifying events of mass shootings at a national level. Churches, public spaces, concert venues, universities, elementary schools... and the list continues. Nouveau Sud uses the structure of a series of vignettes, utilizing their signature acrobatic language and the contemporary circus arts as a vehicle to look for answers to our communal recurring questions: Why? How do we protect us all? Do we want this? Can we stop it?

Hedda Gabler is a recently married woman who is an activist and longs to make her husband who holds beliefs opposing to hers see her ways.  Hedda realizes she is about to be embroiled in a scandal, and seeks her husband’s help.

This emotional journey is filled with suspense and drama. With its timeless themes, Hedda Gabler is one of the most powerful and thought-provoking plays of all time. This new adaptation asks the important questions:

Can two people with opposing beliefs be together?

What motivates humanity to take action or react, particularly in a fiery political climate?

How do nature’s primal responses cause us to react?

 

Warning - Themes of rape, suicide and violence
