VIGILS is an original, multi-disciplinary performance about living in the frozen moment of disappearance. Visually stark and yet striking, lyrically beautiful and yet brash - Vigils plays fast and loose with classical mythologies, weaving them together into a bold new story. Penelope waits for Odysseus' return as her city flees and her walls crumble and bleach like dried bones. Her servants circle and peck, subsumed into their daily routine. A lost-at-sea goddess lurks in their telephone booth. Death sails the eroding seas, waiting for his moment. And a prophet arrives - the death-defying Enoch - in a final disappearing act that leaves nothing as it was before.
Vigils runs August 7-17, Thursday-Sunday at 8 pm. Tickets are $10; Sunday is pay-what-you-can. It is being performed at the Convergence Center for the Arts, located at 2134 Magazine St. at Jackson.
