Synopsis: | This is part of Ice Factory 2010.Mission Drift is a pioneering journey east and west through time and space in pursuit of the soul of American capitalism. This epic musical explores economic collapse and the potential for recovery through two colliding stories, one mystical and one modern. The saga includes two immortal Dutch teenagers who travel west from 1624 Amsterdam to present-day Las Vegas, where we meet a recently laid-off Vegas cocktail waitress and a Native American cowboy whose property has just been repossessed by the city. The hopes of these four characters intertwine, as the dream of the eternal American frontier becomes a crumbing myth that has gone bankrupt. Over it all reigns Miss Atomic, played by Mission Drift composer Heather Christian, a seductive narrator inspired by the 1950s Vegas beauty pageants that celebrated the testing of atomic bombs. | |||||

Notes: | by Heather Christian & the Arbornauts | |||||
Synopsis: | In North, Heather Christian and her kitchen sink orchestra "The Arbornauts" lovingly hybridize pre-1700 classical pieces, original music and post 1960's pop. The unique Baroque infused setting is a crystalline outdoor living room with a moving visual circus of oddities and silhouettes that includes 12 narrating television screens, a puppet show and a moving arboretum. North is a multi-media, multidisciplinary production about storytelling and love and distance, featuring a wide array of music from Carmina Burana to Cyndi Lauper along with Christian's own work. Featuring 'The Arbornauts' Chris Giarmo, Hannah Heller, Mike Mikos (member of Theater of a Two-Headed Calf & Witness Relocation) and Raky Sastri on a variety of instruments/objects including an accordion, glockenspiel, harmonium, megaphone, melodica, typewriter and violin. | |||||
