After three successful years, Eggtooth Productions returns to present "A Happening IV: LEVITHAN," a two-day multi-arts festival immersing participants in a theatrical world of myth, magic and mystery inspired by Moby Dick, Jonah and other Nautical tales of Great Whales. 

 

A true interdisciplinary feat, this festival brings together over 30 local performance artists, actors, musicians, and dancers staging original work as intimate theatrical interactions amidst large-scale installations Featured Valley performers include actors from Eggtooth Ensemble as well as co-directors Sam V. Perry, Joshua Ruder, K Adler, and Ashley Kramer. 

 

Set within large-scale installations constructed throughout the Shea Theater Arts Center, Traditional lines of performance blur as players and audience members weave in and out of multiple timelines and narratives. Open exploration is encouraged, but not required. You may decide to sit and watch the action unfold around you. We invite you to choose your own adventure.

 

Please note audience may be asked to traverse dark hallways and stairwells. Audience may also stay on the main level of the theater and experience character interactions and scenes.

 

Exciting News for A Happening IV: Leviathan

 

Cloudgaze and Eggtooth Productions are thrilled to announce that we have received a generous grant from the Markham-Nathan Fund for Social Justice to support our 2024 Immersive Arts Festival, “A Happening IV: Leviathan.” 

 

 

This festival will transform the Shea Theater into an exploration of theme, hosting installations, music, theatrical performances, and movement pieces, featuring the collective contributions of over 30 local artists. Audiences will experience otherworldly environments and narratives inspired by folklore, fairy tales, horror motifs, American literature, and the mythos of the Old Testament, all of which delve into the central question guiding the festival: "What does it mean to encounter something greater than yourself and to be consumed by it?" Through this theme, we explore how a community reemerges and imagines itself after destruction and transformation. 

 

 

With the support of the Markham-Nathan Fund, we are excited to create an event that complicates perspectives and fosters meaningful dialogue. We are grateful for this partnership and for the work of the Markham-Nathan Fund for Social Justice.
