Blue Wizard/Black Wizard
Opening Night: December 11, 2013
Closing: December 11, 2013
Theater: Incubator Arts Project at St. Mark's Church
Ancient ideals and modern musings rub up against each other in Blue Wizard/Black Wizard, a philosophical musical fantasia. Two referees adjudicate the proceedings as the Black and Blue Wizards battle to save themselves and humanity from the mundane. Warping the conventions of musical theater and classical art song to intersect with the sensibilities of electronic music, Blue Wizard / Black Wizard is a pop culture smashup of fantasy language and contemporary parlance. What unfolds is a ritualistic sporting event, the likes of which audiences have never seen.

White-faced creatures in silver headpieces hand out beaded necklaces at the door, onyx-hued for those who choose to back the Black Wizard, navy for those cheering on the Blue. Just inside, color-coded cocktails are served in tiny cups: for Blue’s partisans, a concoction of rum, Blue Curaçao and lime juice; for Black’s, bourbon and coffee liqueur. Later, for some, there will be doughnut holes.
