Here Comes The Flood - Created & Performed by the 2022-23
Professional Training Program Ensemble; Directed by Julie Douglas
BLUE LAKE – What happens when we get out of balance with the world? Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theatre’s Professional Training Program ensemble presents “Here Comes The Flood,” an exploration of the realm of the Dramatic Mask.
The desire to control…a tragic event...the actions of one deciding the fate of many. This performance is inspired in part by the 1928 St. Francis Dam Disaster, an often overlooked but important piece of California history. The powerful forces at play in this event feed into the conflict, choice, and consequences in the evening of scenes students have created. What would you do when the flood arrives, what would you choose, what would you stand for?
“Because that water seeks her own
Into the sea the water flowed
And now for forever she would go”
- St. Francis Dam Disaster by Frank Black and the Catholics
