By: Tyler Peterson Oct. 15, 2014
The Aurora Project will perform at The Right Brain Project November 15th - December 14th with no show on Thanksgiving. There will be a special press preview on November 14th.
The play is directed by Otherworld Theatre's Artistic Director Tiffany Keane. The play features Kai Young as the android Constantine. The play also features Bennett Bottero, Grace Gimpel, Sarah Scanlon, and Christian Robert Isely V.
The Aurora Project follows Constantine- an android indistinguishable from human beings, and Nora, a genetically enhanced female explorer, as they begin their voyage across the uncharted universe. When Nora decides to go against Constantine's wishes and visit a strange new planet, she's quickly infected with an incurable illness. In order to delay losing his only companion to death, Constantine decides to subject them both to the phenomenon of cryo-freeze. Thus, the pair begins a kind of chemical induced time warp, spanning millions of years as they wait for the universe to get smarter, and a cure to Nora's illness to be found.
