Cupola Bobber's 3rd evening length performance.
"Fiehn and Myers, palookas who seem to imagine they're in toe shoes, combine Goat Island's pedestrian repetition and
Lucky Pierre's guileless clowning with Beckettian inertia; ...attempts to wrest profundity from their cardboard set prove
endearingly futile until their world collapses in a coup de theatre of rare sublimity." -The Chicago Reader
With an eye on vaudeville, the night sky, and this note: "If I die, my knowledge may die with me", Cupola Bobber
investigate the stars, the railroad, and their memories in a struggle to pinpoint something infinitely satisfying... a transcontinental
railroad, a man on the moon, a Golden Record with all that is good on this earth shot at the stars.
Using an intricate web of lo-fi mechanics, they convert a confined interior into an expansive nightscape, a universe out
of cardboard, with two small towers made from cardboard toy bricks. The space changes, tasks flow into each other, the light
goes from bright to twilight to night... stars dancing together, dialogue that finds meaning in dozens of connecting threads,
and resolution in the kind of beauty that makes you sigh.
