MAMMOTH
After a critically acclaimed 3-week run at The Brick in Brooklyn, Buran Theatre brings their evocative and surreal meditation on love and destruction to Albuquerque for two nights only.
Composed in gulfs of glacial silence, two mammoth tusk hunters navigate modern romance in a landscape irrevocably altered by their presence. Re-cast and re-made with Albuquerque performers and artists, this poetic and comedic "paleo-fable" meditates upon why we destroy what we love and, once vanished, what compels us to revive what we've lost.
MAMMOTH will run Friday, December 11 & Saturday, December 12 at 7:30 pm at Tricklock Performance Lab (110 Gold Ave SW, Albuquerque, NM 87102). Tickets are $15 and can be purchased online or at the door.
MAMMOTH is written by Adam R. Burnett and co-directed by Anne Cecelia Haney & Burnett. Featuring Barbara Geary, Juli Hendren, Donna Jewell, Marya Jones, Elsa Menendez, lisa nevada, Lauren Poole, and Rachael Shapiro. Design collaboration by David Torres, Juli Hendren & Casey Mraz; music by Casey Mraz, and stage management by Alexis Miles.
Praise for Buran Theatre & MAMMOTH
"Mammoth, with its loose narrative and clean, uncluttered language, leaves the audience plenty of air for cerebral exploration and open emotional investigation. It is an impressive and courageous addition to [Buran's] body of work." Culturebot
"Adam R. Burnett's trippy paleo fable contains lovely ingredients: an allusive structure that ignores causality, a strong cast adding spice." Time Out New York
"Mammoth's ambitions are, like their namesake, epic." New York Theater Review
"The resulting gestalt experience of a Buran performance is something wholly new, eliciting singular impressions and raw emotions that would have surely been inaccessible to mere words." - Surreal Time Press
"A Buran work lingers in your consciousness for days and weeks after you see it." The Villager
"I have never seen anything quite like Buran Theatre." NYTheater Now
"Buran Theatre defies categorization." - Backstage
BURAN THEATRE is an award-winning ensemble of disparate multidisciplinary and intergenerational artists who joyfully and anarchically reconfigure narrative, form, production, and genre to develop ambitious theatre productions. Our work embraces the absurd, the chaotic, the unknown, the impossible and the surreal with prism-like narrative complexity. We have revived a Marx Brothers show that never existed (Money Buckets!), carried a steamship up and over a mountain (The House of Fitzcarraldo), investigated the sublime and the "singularity" with our iPhones (Nightmares: A Demonstration of the Sublime), tackled America's health care system to the floor in a madcap music/dance/theater/fruit smoothie explosion, (Magic Bullets), and reanimated lovelorn wooly mammoths (Mammoth).
