Wild Signs

World Premiere
The Post Gazette’s pick for 2002’s "most artistically ambitious" and "adventuresome" debut, the company utilized 14 actors, 2 live musicians, fire-eaters, belly dancers, snake charmers, and a modern dancer to tell this epic tale of Augustin Calmet, a French monk in the early eighteenth century who inadvertently introduced Western Europe to the legend of the vampire. Based on historical accounts, the play explores issues of mystery and the supernatural as by-products of the clash of cultures, theologies and traditions. The company installed the production in the empty sanctuary of a black stone gothic church in Highland Park (now the Union Project).
