Flying Deer Theater

Flying Deer Theater’s production of The Containment Scenario Project is a five part multi-media performance series exploring the discourse around climate change. Featuring a cast of horses, bears, wolves, a mustache doctor, and a curly headed woman, the swirling narrative attempts to engage the audience in a real-time collective reading and reimagining of the text where ideas emerge and elaborate within the performance space. Its multi-disciplinary approach combines stage direction, choreography, structured improvisation, and is developed in collaboration with the ensemble. The performance series is adapted from the book: Containment Scenario: DisLoInter MedTextId entCation: Horse Medicine (OBooks, 2009).
