Ikaros
A experiential collection of dreams, myth, and audience-centered narrative, framed as an "audio tour" of a former naval base.
Commissioned by La Jolla Playhouse for the 2019 Without Walls Festival, Ikaros by Third Rail Projects, is an experiential collection of dreams, myth, film, poetry, dance, and performance—an audience-centered narrative framed as an audio “walking tour” through a desert garden path, on the grounds of a former naval base—which sits across from, and shares its sky with, an active international airport. All of these layers fold into one another to create a series of vignettes and rites of passage that follow a cartography of flight and failure, an odyssey of transformation, prodigal protégés caught in the tailwinds of the achievements and shortcomings of mentors who harness the wind and fly away. It is at once, a walk through a familiar myth that recasts itself as a ritual of absolution and a line-crossing ceremony.
