Descend down to La Val’s Subterranean Theater and delve into a vivid story woven from several lesser-known European fairy tales that reflect the dark and dangerous undercurrents of childhood and all of its enchantment. In Mary Zimmerman’s The Secret in the Wings, a child is left with a frightening ogre, a basement becomes an enchanted kingdom, and one strange story gives way to the next in a kaleidoscopic unfolding of fairy tale as nightmare, memory, and theatrical spell. Embracing Lunatico’s physical, ensemble-driven style, director Michael Barr, creates a grimy, beautiful, and unsettling dreamscape that emerges from the shadowy corners of La Val’s Subterranean Theater. This Halloween season, join Lunatico in the basement for a night of fairy-tale lunacy…if you dare.
