The production team of JUPITER (A PLAY ABOUT POWER) installed a solar panel February 8, 2016 on the roof of La MaMa, 74A East Fourth Street, for a green design experiment conceived by Superhero Clubhouse, a NYC-based eco-theater company. Scroll down for a look at the solar panel installation!

JUPITER (a play about power) will be presented by La MaMa February 11 to 28. The production is being designed with a solar-powered lighting system, and the tech staff just put together a behind-the-scenes look at the green design build for the production. Check it out below!

'JUPITER (a play about power)' by Superhero Clubhouse and Kaimera Productions is an argument of soaring irony and logic between humanity and a dude with one-time magic who has made all fossil fuels disappear permanently from the Earth. That's not such an unbelievable premise, when you think about it, because in terms of our global history, we are on the brink of an energy systems overhaul. Some 'man at the switch' could at any time begin shutting our industrial civilization down. Oh, we'll be indignant then. Now imagine a philosophical debate between this overlord and a woman who represents all of humankind. That is the one-act 'dream play' that will be offered to us by playwright Jeremy Pickard, director Simon Adinia Hanukai and musician/energy policy specialist Jonathan Camuzeaux, presented by La Mama from February 11-28, 2016.
