La Val's Subterranean Theater, 1834 Euclid Ave, Berkeley, CA, 94709

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. Playing October 10th-November 1st. Come in costume on the Halloween night performance!

College of San Mateo Theatre

Viva La Vida with Excerpts from P1N0CCH10 &amp; Carmilla features new works and a returning Oceánica Ballet autumn tradition. 
Act 1 premieres selections from two upcoming story ballets. P1N0CCH10, a retelling of Carlo Collodi's classic tale of Pinocchio, explores humanity, artificial intelligence, and our relationship with the natural world. Carmilla, an adaptation of Sheridan Le Fanu's groundbreaking sapphic vampire novella, stages a mysterious masquerade ball.
Act II features the return of Viva La Vida, the original story of Lucio and Lupita in a joyful folklórico-infused tale about transcending loss and the resilience of love, inspired by Día de los Muertos. In this “celebration of life, loved ones and culture,” writes Jocelyn Tong of the Daily Californian, “mythic creatures from the land of the dead … [lead to] twirled scarves and snapped-open fans …in a story of homecoming.” Throughout all three stories, the wisdom of women across time and cultures is amplified.
