THE SAINT PLAYS by Erik Ehn

WORLD PREMIERE

A saint is a human mandala- a life in a ritual shape, held up as a focus for contemplation -Erik Ehn

At the intersection between life and death, hope and suffering, loss and redemption, we enter the world of mystical storytelling, a theatrical journey that re-imagines the historical lives of the saints in a contemporary landscape. Erik Ehn, co-founder of the Tenderloin Opera Company and RAT movement, brings to life these fairy tales for the stage.

Performances: September 16-October 10, 2010

Venue: Church Street Theatre
