The Reptile Under the Flowers
The Foshay Masonic Lodge
Culver City, CA
The Museum of Jurassic Technology, in collaboration with Automata, presents the premiere of Janie Geiser's new diorama-performance "The Reptile Under the Flowers". The Reptile Under the Flowers integrates puppetry, peepshows, mechanical performing objects, miniature projections, music/sound, and a miniature house, crumbling in the snow. Reptile is performed by an ensemble of puppeteers and performers, in a walk-through set of 13 scenes, with the audience entering the installation in groups of 8 people every 15 minutes. The full duration of the work is about an hour.
The Reptile Under the Flowers builds its narrative through the accumulation of small actions and events, and follows the intersecting lives of a father and son.
Conceived, Directed, and Designed by Janie Geiser;
Music Composed by Valerie Opielski;
Lighting Designed by Brandon Stirling-Baker;
Sound Design by Yun Ho;
Puppet Costumes designed by Sarah Brown and Yelena Zhelezov.
Note: Tickets will be sold for specific entrance times, as the audience will enter in groups of 8 people every 15 minutes during performance times. For example, for the Thursday evening performance, tickets will be sold for 7:30, 7:45, 8:00 and so on. The full walk-through is about one hour. If you wish to enter with a specific group of people, please try to purchase all of the tickets at the same time for the same time slot, or adjoining slots.
While this is not a performance designed for children, children over 10 who are attending with adults are welcome. The patience of younger children may be tested by the form of viewing and the atmosphere of the performance.
