Series: 2014 NextNOW Fest

Venue: Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center.

Thu, Sep 11, 2014 . 7:30PM

Tickets: Free, no tickets required. Dance Theatre, Reserved Seating.

Description: Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind is an artistic attempt to perform 30 two-minute plays, selected at random in front of the audience’s eyes.

With an aesthetic that draws upon Dada, Surrealism and the work of the original Italian Futurists, the single unifying element of the short plays is that they are performed from a perspective of absolute honesty.

This experimental theatre company’s co-artistic director, Kurt Chiang, is a graduate of UMD’s School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies. But would you expect anything less?

Description: Cavalleria Rusticana is an opera in one act by Pietro Mascagni to an Italian libretto by Giovanni Targioni-Tozzetti and Guido Menasci, adapted from a play and short story written by Giovanni Verga. Considered one of the classic verismo operas, it premiered on 17 May 1890, at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome. Since 1893, it has often been performed in a so-called Cav/Pag double-bill with Pagliacci by Ruggero Leoncavallo.
