Planet Connections and DangerLion Productions Present DANGERSPARKLE AND THE LION, Now thru 6/22

Planet Connections and DangerLion Productions present Dangersparkle and the Lion in the 2013 Planet Connections Theatre Festivity. Dangersparkle and the Lion is the epic, touching, comic, and way-too personal tale of the history of the human race as seen through the eyes of two hapless immortals, fallen from heaven and doomed to reincarnate together until they can figure out just how to get along. Exploring the twisted interconnections of life, the casual nature of our actions, the nature of faith and the power of love that runs through it all, this original and truly unique two-person musical is operatic in scope, universal in theme and intimate in execution. Dangersparkle and the Lion is conceived, written, and performed by International Artists Lia Tamborra and Harry Einhorn. Weaving together myth, world music, story telling and good old fashioned musical theater, this theatrical romp spans from the dawn of man to the end of days, with stops in ancient Greece, classical India, medieval Europe, the high seas, modern times and more along the way.

Dangersparkle and the Lion also features Shana Solomon as Director and Balint Varga as Musical director. Between them, their work has been seen in India, Russia, Prague, South Africa, Paris, Austria, Italy and across New York City. Their work spans mediums as diverse as dance theater, puppetry, multimedia, performance art, busking, chamber music, film, music theater and more. This is their first collaboration together.

As part of the Planet Connections Festivity, we are also raising awareness and collecting donations for Khoryug, working with Buddhist monasteries for environmental protection across the Himalayas. www.khoryug.com
