DESCRIPTION OF PIECE
​
Part I: The Infinite Possibility of Jane

In no time, the souls will be flooding the gates to the realm of the dead. Climate catastrophe is upon us. Who will allow these souls passage but the earth who reclaims their bodies? The gatekeeper entertains our wait with some attempts at soup-cooking chit chat.

Part II: The Grail of Salt

This is the Legend of Hetta Silvah, as told by Hetta Silvah, brought to you by It’s Not A Ruse Theatre from a world of screams and fevered joy where pleasantries abound in the face of pain, as directed by Hetta Silvah in collaboration with flag, day, and night, previously known as Fishbaby-Horse, Beyond Here Lies Nothin’, and Life-or-Death Antics (the way of the world).

ABOUT THE ARTIST

I value my creativity and passion. It is a constant work to maintain a perspective that is against the norm, but it is my creativity and passion that honors my life and others’.

Livia Chesley improvises, composes, writes, creates, and performs original theatre works in a distinctive voice, influenced by the performance lineages of clown, Butoh dance, and physical theatre. Livia’s “The Infinite Possibility of Jane” received the Award for Fringiest Performance at the 2024 Asheville Fringe Festival. Their newest projects include: “Life-or-Death Antics,” a Philadelphia-based experimental performance series, and “It’s Not a Ruse Theatre,” a school solely of students. “The Grail of Salt” and “The Infinite Possibility of Jane” were selected for the Cannonball program in the upcoming Philadelphia Fringe Festival.​
