FreeFall Returns To Indoor Space With Unique Adaptation Of THE ROSE & THE BEAST
The nine spaces are designed by Tom Hansen, Rebekah Lazaridis and Steven K. Mitchell.
After a successful drive-in concert series, freeFall continues its commitment to unique and original new programming with The Rose and The Beast playing June 25 through August 8, 2021.This innovative, cutting-edge experience will allow guests to explore Francesca Lia Block's bestselling novel. This summer, step into an experience like none other. Through visual storytelling, theatre design, multimedia, and augmented reality - enter the world of The Rose and The Beast.
"With language that is both lyrical and distinctly her own, Francesca Lia Block turns nine fairy tales inside out. Escaping the poisoned apple, Snow frees herself from possession to find the truth of love in an unexpected place. A club girl from L.A., awakening from a long sleep to the memories of her past, finally finds release from its curse. And Beauty learns that Beasts can understand more than men. Within these singular, timeless landscapes, the brutal and the magical collide, and the heroine triumphs because of the strength she finds in a pen, a paintbrush, a lover, a friend, a mother, and finally, in herself."
This unique, interactive walk-through (fully accessible) experience will let you step into Block's stunning retellings of nine classic fairy tales. Through a series of nine spaces, designed by a team of scenic designers, audiences will have the opportunity to interact with the environments in surprising ways. Guests will move through the experience with their own party. This groundbreaking and medium-blurring adaptation of the Los Angeles Times Best Seller marks our return to the air-conditioned comfort of our indoor space. Walk-through appointments take place Wednesday through Sunday from 3pm - 8pm.
The nine spaces are designed by Tom Hansen, Rebekah Lazaridis and Steven K. Mitchell. The experience will also feature an original score by Michael Raabe and Amanda Eland.
