Aquarius Rising is an hour-long fever dream written and performed by Ben Fallaci, directed by Gretchen Egolf, about navigating a co-dependent relationship turned dumpster fire. The show blends dark comedy with fantastical elements and astrology, following Fallaci through climate collapse, toxic codependency, and working for a nightmarish boss. Inspired by a real-life breakup and meltdown, the piece explores how an apocalypse can force the hard decisions needed to change one's life.
