UTOPIAN FLOES

NEW SHOW 2008

UTOPIAN FLOES is set in a future realm, in a time of planetary decay, in a time of planetary desecration, in a time of planetary fantasy.  It is set in a non-temporal spatial zone where only a few members of the human species still exist...where, in order to survive, they are forced to flee their immediate environs and their histories by seeking refuge on a Flying Moon Ship.

Here are some photos of UTOPIAN FLOES and some sample audience comments...

"I'd like to thank you for coming to our little neck of woods and entertaining the people of my community. I greatly appreciate the time and effort you have put into this lovely show.   I especially liked the music, the songs and the breath-taking performance of the acrobats on the ropes! I am grateful for the unique experience and the great show I saw last night and I wish you success & a good audience for the next 37 years. Good sailing!"

-- Zoltan Soos, a resident of Szentendre, Hungary, and admirer of the Caravan Stage

Congratulation on the performance that was astonishing and put a charm on me.   Thanks for sharing your talent with the villagers.

The show was all about life and death and the spiritual choices you need to make between life and death...and now I have lots to think about before I die!

-- Nikos, Crew Member of Bulgarian ship, BLACK CAT-WHITE CAT.

The show of Caravan Stage Company proved to be a modern musical theater in its best sense: unique music and outrageous voices, highly dynamic performances, and artistry in the rigging of the 25m high masts combined with intriguing stage sets. When at the beginning of the show aerial artists like squirrels climb up the masts the audience's breath is caught, and this intentness holds on throughout the entire show.   This performance quite plainly delivers the message to care for earth's resources as it tells the story of the crew of a moon ship searching for a new home planet after earth has become uninhabitable as a consequence of a climatic catastrophe.

FANTASTIC!
