Lookingglass Alice August 30, 2009

In a land where cats disappear into grins, narcoleptic dormice sleep in tea pots and people lose their heads over a game of croquet, a young girl falls down a rabbit hole and finds that nothing is ever quite the same again. In David Catlin's dizzying and breathless adaptation of Alice's adventures, umbrellas can be trees, a battle can be won by drum beats and sometimes calling can look a lot like saying goodbye. With a live and energetic performance style that calls upon dance, acrobatic physicality and the active imagination of the audience, 'Lookingglass Alice' retells the story that first brought the ensemble together as undergraduates over 20 years ago.
