SUMMARY:The Cave
DESCRIPTION:A ragged group of animals flee for their lives and take refuge in a cave. The animals\, through song\, comment on their fate and that of the world. What cased their dire situation? The writing was supported by two themes: The Genesis ‘expulsion from the garden’ story\, and our changing environment. In our complacent greed\, we are ‘evicting’ ourselves and all creatures fro the ‘garden’. The Cave is our way of telling the story of the earth’s precarious survival.The format of the show takes its inspiration from cabaret. The MC\, hilariously played by composer John Millard\, tells jokes and stories and gives political context to the songs.The lyrics are at times comic\, at times tragic. Two songs are in Cree. John’s music is bombastic\, lyrical and moving. The band\, led by music direct\, Gregory Oh\, includes keyboards\, accordion\, reeds\, bass\, banjo\, and percussion. Adam Paolozza\, of Bad New Days renown\, directs. The Cave includes an impressive list of performers\, musicians\, and designers.This show is also one of our ENHANCED EXPERIENCES!Here is your chance to get creative with the option to arrive in costume for this show. Wear your connection to the environment and the natural world to The Cave by dressing as an animal\, plant\, tree\, pebble\, fire\, river… let’s see where your imagination takes you! Prizes from local businesses for the best 3 costumes of the night.

The show features spooky\, humourous\, and mysterious short silent films by Georges Méliès (1861–1938)\, considered to be one of the inventors of cinematography. The films are accompanied by three live virtuoso musicians playing over 50 different instruments\, who breathe fresh life into these cinematographic gems\, creating an awe-inspiring multimedia show. The show has had over 600 performances in Europe alone!“The three musicians whisk the audience away on a peaceful\, dream-like journey to the moon or beyond – a feast for the eyes and for the ears!”“Recaptures the sheer manic daftness of Meliès’ inventive genius.” – The Scotsman\, UKWatch the trailer at https://youtu.be/tsU6BzYmCF8.About Georges MélièsCharlie Chaplin said Georges Méliès was “the alchemist of light.” And he was considered by the Lumière brothers as the “creator of cinematic spectacle\,” Méliès was himself transformed from magician\, theatre owner and producer to filmmaker when he was one of the first to see the Lumiere Brothers “Cinematographe”\, in which moving pictures were first demonstrated in 1895. The French illusionist and film director was an inventive pioneer and brilliant entertainer\, whose films such as “A Trip to the Moon’ (1902) and “The Impossible Voyage” (1904) were inspired by the universe of Jules Verne.Méliès built the first movie studio in Europe; was the first to use storyboards and production and was a prolific inventor of special effects including multiple exposures\, dissolves\, time-lapse photography\, and hand painted color. By the time his film making career ended as a result of reversals of fortunes during World War I\, Méliès had created 531 films\, with some of the most memorable images in the history of the cinema.Concept\, musical compositions and sound creation\, keyboard\, strings structure\, melodica\, objects : Jean-François Alcoléa.
