Anthony/Carla’s Our Lady of Primeval Chaos is a part of Refuge, now extended to May 22nd!
Refuge is a condition of being safe or sheltered from pursuit, danger, or trouble.
Enter into a sacred space, not unlike a church, or the center of the sacred ring of stones/monoliths, and reimagine a more desirable reality or alternate world by reaching as far down into history as we can go, so as to realign with the sacred feminine.
Refuge will allow itself to be experienced by one small group (germ pod) at a time.
The “audience” will walk into the center and be surrounded by 11 (8x4 foot) painted panels, accompanied by sculptural installations and a soundscape.
Each panel/installation will represent a Goddess or sacred feminine principle. These Goddesses are modeled after the deities in numerous creation myths, allowing us to center, recalibrate, reconnect with the building blocks of the natural world, question our place within the universe, and contemplate how we can be a part of a more harmonious existence.
Shaking the Tree has commissioned a writer/performer for each panel. We are beyond thrilled to share their incredible collective work with you.
January 30th - May 22nd, 2021
Thursdays- Saturdays (6pm, 7:30pm, 9pm), and Sundays (2pm, 3:30pm, 5pm)
* A note on booking tickets
Tickets to Refuge are free. Donations are gladly accepted. You can book an appointment online.
You will be able to experience Refuge alone or with members of your germ pod (up to 5 people max).
The only people you will come into appropriately distanced contact with are the box-office attendant at the front door, and the stage manager (who will be running the show from the booth).
Please wear a mask. If you do not have one, one will be given to you.
The show will run a little over an hour. You will notice when you book a slot that your booking lasts for 90 minutes. This is so that we can sanitize before the next pod arrives.
If you need help with your booking or have any questions, please contact our BOX OFFICE for help.
