The Seven Secrets of Madame Caprice Silent Theatre

(5/11-6/21; 8pm Thu-Sat; 4p Sun) -- "I woke up from a dream in a place made of brick. It had a stage with a red velvet curtain and a train rolled by with a bell. I felt warm and alive! And you were there! You sat under a giant cartoonish sunflower and people were watching you weep and laugh at the same time. And somewhere in the air, music existed inside tiny little floating proseco bubbles and when they got too close too the sun, they burst in joyful chimes and disappeared, and I disappeared with them! There was an air, quite theatrical about all of it! And with it, it carried the thrill of adventure"

From Silent Theatre - The Seven Secret Plays of Madame Caprice willed itself into existence through patience and chance mostly, and perhaps a dash of audacity. Inspired by a dreamt adventure, this blend of music and theatrical story telling, this bubbling cauldron of creativity, has a metamorphic nature. Performers, musicians and even context change as the show grows more aware of itself, transcending its origins as it evolves.

This is the story of one Esteliana Caprice. She invites five outcasts to her abode a top Gooseberry Hill to help them find the tools necessary to navigate through life effortlessly. In this endeavor, they create seven plays varying in genre and aesthetic, underscored with live music and whimsy.

Some preserved account of this remains with the following: “I woke up from a dream in a place made of brick. It had a stage with a red velvet curtain and a train rolled by with a bell. I felt warm and alive! And you were there! You sat under a giant cartoonish sunflower and people were watching you weep and laugh at the same time. And somewhere in the air, music existed inside tiny little floating proseco bubbles and when they got too close too the sun, they burst in joyful chimes and disappeared, and I disappeared with them! There was an air, quite theatrical about all of it! And with it, it carried the thrill of adventure…”
