Mission Drift NorthMission Drift
Mission Drift is a pioneering journey across the USA in pursuit of the soul of American capitalism, created in the blazing heat of a Las Vegas June. Told through atomic blasts, lizard ballet, and original music that fuses Las Vegas glitz with Western ballads and Southern blues, it features two interweaving love stories: the epic saga of an immortal teenage Dutch couple as they travel west from Amsterdam to New Amsterdam in 1624, all the way to modern-day financially devastated Las Vegas, and the intimate portrait of a cocktail waitress and a cowboy grappling with the 2008 recession and their crumbling American dreams. Over it all reigns Miss Atomic, a seductive storyteller/singer inspired by the 1950s beauty pageants celebrating the bombs tested in the Nevada desert. She is the symbol of creation and destruction, bankruptcy and bonanza, and this profoundly unique American city..

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.
