Rooming House — a synthesis of contemporary dance and theater — begins with an intimate conversation among friends about stories of high-stakes decisions. When the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice is mentioned, varied interpretations propel the group into a physically and psychologically complex game of whodunit, taking them down a rabbit hole into the lives of everyday people who do extraordinary things. Playful and personal, Rooming House looks at how we tell and re-tell stories to excavate and create a semblance of truth.
Lucky Plush Productions is an ensemble dance-theater company based in Chicago, led by founder and Artistic Director Julia Rhoads. The company is committed to provoking and supporting an immediacy of presence—a palpable live-ness—shared by performers in real time with audiences. A unique hybrid of high-level dance and theater, Lucky Plush’s work is recognized for its layered choreography, nuanced dialogue, surprising humor, and socially relevant content.
Co-created and directed by Julia Rhoads and Leslie Buxbaum Danzig
