Nov. 10-12 and 17-19
Firebringer
Produced in collaboration with the Department of Music, Firebringer is a viral indie hit that hilariously depicts a tribe of cave people who discover the ability to control fire. Exploring the interconnections among civilization, cultivation of natural resources, capitalism and climate change, this raunchy and campy musical blends rich themes with infectious music and crass cave art.
Join us for performances on Nov. 10-12 and 17-18 at 7:30 p.m. and a matinee on Nov. 19 at 2 p.m.
Introducing the cast
Jemilla the Peacemaker civilizes her people and gives them purpose. She assigns each member of the tribe their own job to ensure the tribe’s safety and productivity. But Zazzalil, who would rather lounge around than work, stumbles on a discovery that will make life easier: fire. As the Firebringer, Zazzalil helps her people protect themselves from woolly mammoths and saber-toothed tigers, and in the process forever alters human impact on the natural world.
