We Players to Present ONDINE at Sutro Baths This Summer
We Players presents Jean Giraudoux's Ondine at Sutro Baths.
This site-integrated production is produced in partnership with the Golden Gate National Recreational Area (with whom We Players has been innovating site-integrated theatre since 2008). We Players brings this enchanting love story between a sea spirit and a knight errant to life on the cliffs at Land's End, where the windswept Monterey Cypress trees tower above and the vast Pacific stretches sparkling to the horizon. Audiences should be prepared to walk; as with all We Players productions, this show is on the move! Action will occur in the ruins of the baths, on the Point Lobos cliffside, and process across the Great Highway into Sutro Heights Park and atop the foundation of Sutro's former observatory. Ondine at Sutro runs May 1 - June 7, 2015. Advance ticket sales open to our mailing list at February 2, 2015.
Ondine is a tragic love story between a mystical creature of the depths and a mortal man of hubris. A fable of the follies of love, Ondine is also an exploration of our human relationship with Nature. Worlds collide, the natural world flirts with the established social order and immortal powers plunge into the realm of mortals. Our story comes to life where the great western frontier at San Francisco's Land's End meets the ocean's horizon.
Staged at Sutro Baths and Sutro Heights Park, we experience the great power and sense the timeless depths of the ocean as we wander amidst the eroded foundations of majestic buildings and grand swimming pools. Audiences will move with the action of the play, exploring the park and taking in the expansive and breathtaking views of the great Pacific, while immersed in the enchanted realm of Ondine.
