As with all events in the Widow Jane Mine, bring a folding chair, and dress for damp, cool weather even in the summer!
This is a very family friendly show!
Co-founder Carina Piaggio brings her newest movement / theater work to the intriguing Century House/Widow Jane Mine’s underground stage. Inspired by a remarkable dog – Alonso – as interpreted by a “lady” in a hat and purse (the Argentine/French ballerina and clown Sandra Zuniga, backed by a quartet of Bash the Trash musicians), this piece explores the commonality of balletic grace and obsessive behavior, blurring the lines between lady and puppy, between human and pet; neither Lady nor Poodle, but a confluence of both.
