"A fantastical theater experience set to music!"
A new, original production co-created by Kevin Kling & Gaelynn Lea. Get tickets to the premiere of this fantastical, accessible theater experience at Open Eye Theatre in Minneapolis!
ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Singer-songwriter Gaelynn Lea (NPR Music, Macbeth on Broadway) and storyteller-playwright Kevin Kling (NPR's All Things Considered, OnBeing) combine their talents in an original musical fable, which weaves together storytelling and song to create a unique theatrical experience. This production blends their internationally-renowned skills in music and storytelling to create an intimate show that is rich in the wit and wisdom inherent in Disability Culture. Rounding out this trio on guitar is Minneapolis-based musician extraordinaire, Jeremy Ylvisaker.
ABOUT THE SHOW:
The Largroff is a platypus who was born with a spontaneous genetic mutation that caused her to sprout wings, horns and a snout. The grasshopper, who lost two of his limbs as a nymph, is on a quest to get to the city for a peaceful retirement. Together this unlikely pair embarks on a journey where they come face-to-face with different worlds, dangers and dreams. This musical play touches on identity, disability and the stories we tell ourselves.
ABOUT ACCESSIBILITY:
This show will be heavy on fun and adventure, while also centering accessibility and Disability Culture. We are striving to make this show more welcoming and accessible to everyone. Every performance will have ASL interpretation as well as projected captioning. There will be narrated audio description at the beginning of each scene to help blind and low-vision audience members better place themselves in the worlds we are creating. Anyone who supported our Kickstarter will also gain access to a private streaming link in August.
