The 7-Person Chair Pyramid High Wire Act
by Donna Oblongata and Patrick Costello
In the wilds of Siberia, Charles Darwin goes off in search of the Yeti. The Yeti (if she exists) enters a radio station’s dance contest, hoping to win an all-expenses-paid vacation to a place that doesn’t exist yet. Darwin’s research companion—a little brown bat—falls in love with the radio station’s electromagnetic emissions—but how could that ever end happily? Meanwhile, Siberia’s caves are home to a secretive tribe of ropemakers—but their disintegrating family structure may cause their ancient craft to be lost forever.
Through the lens of the real life allegory of the Flying Wallendas’ famous high-wire act, two performers on only a 3’x5’ stage unfold Darwin’s laboratory, unfurl anatomic diagrams of the yeti, and try to tease out the difference between miracles and non-miracles.
The 7 Person Chair Pyramid High Wire Act has was named one of the Best Productions of the Year by the Milwaukee Examiner, and was nominated for Best Production Design at the Wellington Fringe Festival in New Zealand.

Venus
by Liz Downing
"Venus" is a Crankie by Liz Downing, with song and vibrational meditation, inspired by Immanuel Velikovsky's "Worlds In Collision". Velikovsky gleaned hints from Babylonian artifacts and evidence from cosmic cataclysmic events to form a theory of how Venus became a planet, once a comet which terrorized the Earth every 50 years. The wise women of Babylonia, in 1500 BCE, averted disaster. "Levitating cakes with song from rooftops to appease the Goddess, the Babylonian women spun the wrath of Venus into a golden orb of light, settling her in the evening sky, saving the people, the Babylonian women, long ago."
