Zoosphere is a transcendent installation of image and sound investigating humankind's relationship to the natural world. In her first ever immersive video installation, Hunter upends the power dynamic between the human and non-human animal within a dark, mazelike environment in which the man and beast co-mingle. Drawing on the experience of a visit to the zoo, audiences will travel through a a subdivided series of exhibition galleries filled with life-size projections of zoo animals devoid of any natural animal sounds (trumpeting elephants, birds in flight, herding zebras, barking sea lions, etc.) Against the backdrop of a rapidly shifting ecological landscape in which species across the globe are threatened with extinction, Zoosphere reconnects humanity with the beauty and wonder of the animal kingdom and forces us to examine our relationship with and responsibility to it.
Meadow Brook Theatre welcomes director David Edwards, who was part of the 'By Jeeves' Broadway cast. 'I was offered the job of standby for four of the leading roles,' explained Edwards. 'I had a great time with the show and I'm excited to bring that experience here to Meadow Brook Theatre's stage. 'By Jeeves', I thought, deserved another look, beyond Broadway, in a more intimate setting. A series of happy coincidences brought me to this marvelous group of collaborators at this wonderfully enterprising theatre.'
Extended Stay Hotels presents a Meadow Brook Theatre production of 'By Jeeves,' running April 22 - May 17 on the campus of Oakland University in Rochester Born of the imagination of P. G. Woodhouse, the 'Jeeves' stories are perfect source material for a hit musical, so who better to turn it into one than Andrew Lloyd Webber?
