More Information About Oh My Tiger + Ocean/Flight

Description

<p>Director/choreographer Mira Kingsley and playwright Sibyl O’Malley continue their adventures in materials of a humble, human scale that are capable of astonishing and courageous transformations with “Oh My Tiger.” The limits of our compassion are challenged by this story of radical activism in which a young man feeds himself to a starving mother Tiger. “Ocean/Flight,” created by innovative theater director Chi-wang Yang, uses the story of Charles Lindbergh's revolutionary solo flight across the Atlantic to examine our modern-day bond with technology, and how much of ourselves we are willing to surrender in the name of progress.  </p>
