Adding a Jungian twist to Jack and the Beanstalk, You don’t know Jack is the Carpetbag Brigade’s surreal, comic tragedy of an alcoholic dead man and his wildly dysfunctional family. Inspired by The Sibling Society by Robert Bly, this hour-long nightmare fairy tale mixes physical theater, dance and a live musical score created by the ensemble cast. A San Francisco premiere! “The Carpetbag Brigade of San Francisco are a company not to be ignored; and they’re presenting this most extreme and mind-blowing of all the shows on this year’s Fringe about the damaging impact of war.” – The Scotsman, Edinburgh UK, August 2008 |
“Electro-sorceress of sound” Faith Helma presents her song cycle inspired by the fairy tale anti-heroine, Undine. Faith Helma has mesmerized audiences in clubs, theaters and arts centers in Seattle and Portland, opened for Justin Bond and Holcombe Waller, and for the first time brings her delicate melodies, live loops and wicked beats to San Francisco. A lonely water creature find a microphone, and an enchanted girl lost between night and the dawn of day sings her heart out. “Things got off to a spooky start with ‘Undine’ by Faith Helma, who proved to be an electro-sorceress of sound as she told the tale of a water-nymph having a rough time on land.” – Michael Upchurch, Seattle Times, May 2008 |
