Brown Rocket

 
 
Premiers July 24 - 26 at Minneapolis’ Southern Theatre

Brown Rocket explores the masochistic persistence of two lovers, a quixotic passion that develops into violence. The sweeping and quirky playfulness of the choreography and aggressive partnering is set to an indie-pop sound-score, played live by a four piece band. With wit and vehemence, Brown Rocket reveals love's tendency to ignore malaise in the thrill of a fiery take off. A series of dovetailing montages build in momentum to the inevitable crash.
