2007 - 2008 SEASON

Scratch & Burn
by D-Projects Inc.

 

Thursday, February 14 - Friday, February 15

8:00 pm
Bowker Auditorium
$15-general public; $8-low income patrons and seniors; $5-students with valid ID

Written and directed by Teo Castellanos, this original theater piece explores war traditions and battle cries--using hip-hop vernacular and movement -- begging the question, "when is war not the answer?" Using early Zulu rituals, elements of Butoh, Maori War Dance, Tibetan Buddhism and modern political war games, Scratch & Burn is a potent investigation of human nature and an incessant need to battle for supremacy and dominance.
