Horse in Motion to Present BRECHTFEST
The Horse in Motion is proud to present a unique morning of theatre that brings together three classic plays, raucous music, a cast of 16 talented local actors, and the biggest political issues of our time - all over a lively and delicious breakfast. The actors are the servers as epic theatre is given new immediacy in this fun and creative creation from one of Seattle's newest and most inventive theatre companies.
Over a nine-month period of rehearsals, research, and creation, company members of The Horse in Motion have woven together the stories of three classic plays by iconic German playwright, Bertolt Brecht. Each offers a different look at the important issues of our day including income inequality, gender dynamics, and the essential question of how to survive in a society where the game is rigged.
Using Brecht's groundbreaking principles of epic theatre, reimagined by the Millennials of today, the production invites the audience into an experience that is at once playful and unsettling, informed by history and totally new. Taking place in the intimate and historic Can Can in the heart of Pike Place Market, BrechtFest takes dinner theatre and turns it on its head. With music, outsize characters, and delicious breakfast fare, the audience will be treated to a morning of politics, theatre, and bacon unlike any other.
