Earth

VORTEX Repertory Company presents the world premiere of EARTH, a new multi-disciplinary show performed in a mountain of dirt. The audience surrounds an actual mound of moist earth that engages the senses as performers sing, dance, play, and tell stories of the Earth from diverse global mythologies.
Conceived and directed by Bonnie Cullum, EARTH is the next in VORTEX's The Elementals, a series of devised works with sacred intention. As we embrace the power and magic of the elemental forces of Air,… Show more Fire, Water, Earth, and Spirit, we intertwine ritual and environmental action with our theatrical art.
EARTH features a stellar cast of VORTEX Repertory Company members-- Mick D'arcy, Anderson Dear, Gabriel Maldonado, Betsy McCann, Emerald Mystiek, Mindy Rast-Keenan, and Melissa Vogt-Patterson with the VORTEX debut of Aisha Melhem.
Conceived and Directed by Bonnie Cullum.
