By: Gabrielle Sierra Apr. 29, 2011
Surf the multisensory edges of time, space, culture and consciousness with legendary author/anthropologist Carlos Castaneda and acclaimed American composer Michael Colgrass at SoBe Institute of the Arts' groundbreaking music-theater experience Tales of Power. The limited run production will take place May 5 to May 15 at the SoBe Arts Little Stage Theater in Miami Beach.
Adapted and directed by Executive Artistic Director Carson Kievman, this unique piece vividly conjures Castaneda's magical tales of transformative change and personal power, set in the desert wilderness and metropolitan Mexico City with early 1970's cult hero and Mesoamerican shaman Don Juan. This original multimedia production combines the extraordinary tone poem of Colgrass, a piano score featured in the SoBe Arts American Masterworks series, with new theatrical and sound elements and a display of kinematic "magic lantern" effects.Tales of Power will take place in the Little Stage Theater @ SoBe Arts on Thursday, May 5 and Fridays and Saturdays May 6, 7, 13 and 14 at 8pm, and Sundays May 8 and 15 at 7:30 pm. VIP Reserved Seating tickets are $25 and General Seating tickets are $12.50, in accord with SoBe Arts mission to provide live theater at accessible prices. Parking is free. The Little Stage Theater @ SoBe Arts is an intimate black box-style space that accommodates a limited number of patrons. For tickets, call 305-674-9220, visit www.sobearts.org/power.html or stop by SoBe Institute of the Arts in person weekdays at 2100 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach.
