It’s been twelve years since the volcano erupted. There’s no new growth yet, but that doesn’t stop Warren from taking little Grover on an impromptu adventure in his attempt to get back to nature. Unexpected, of course, is their encounter with a prehistoric nomad of "questionable" motives.
Through their struggle to apprehend the mystery of beginnings, pinecones will fly, squirrels will be slaughtered, and a bonfire of glacial proportions will be set ablaze. An unorthodox campfire story (and the ash left behind) becomes a stage of reinvention for them all. Thus are we given a window on the origin of a new species – a Species of Eternity.
Gadfly Theatre was founded in New York City by three University of Hawai’i alumni. Their inaugural production, The Mustard Seed, ran at the American Theater of Actors in Manhattan in November of 2009. For their second original show, Alvin Chan, Chris Cappelletti, and Tom Offer-Westort elected to return home to the theatre community most directly responsible for their creative development.
Kumu Kahua has a long tradition of encouraging original work by local artists that aims to strengthen the relationship between Hawai’i and its inhabitants; Gadfly is proud to be associated with an organization that shares so many of its central artistic values.
Species of Eternity will play seven nights only: October 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 at 8pm. October 16 matinee at 2pm.
