The Snowstorm
By Eric Nordin with Script Advisor William S. Gregory
Directed & Choreographed by Jessica Wallenfels
Musical Direction & Piano Performance by Eric Nordin
Performers include: Kira Batcheller, Chris Harder, Elisha Henig, Brian Demar Jones, Matt Kerrigan, Garland Lyons, Jamie Rea, and Beth Thompson.
This visceral, sonically vivid new performance piece brings the classical piano music of Rachmaninoff to life through cutting edge physical theatre spun around a classic romance with magical elements of puppetry and mask. The power of music to connect, to ignite, and to heal weaves through this original fable by some of Portland’s most inventive and cherished collaborating theatre-artists.
“…very talented Jessica Wallenfels and company…stands out as a fine example of the kind of interesting, original work that could, someday, put Portland on the theater map.”
