ABOUT THE PLAY
A clown play. Performed without words. Mostly.
Philadelphia's Pig Iron Theatre Company brings 7 Stages a delightful, smart evening of theatre for all ages. The story of FLOP is deceptively simple: three girls accidentally break the universe. Millie, Snow, and Fleur Sauvage discover that they can control time with the clock that hangs on their wall. But as they move back and forth between past and future, they unintentionally pull time free from its moorings. Now it is up to the trio of unlikely heroines to save the world. Experience with your family the new kind of vaudeville that made Bill Irwin, David Shiner, and Cirque du Soleil famous.
About Pig Iron Theatre Company
Founded in 1995, Pig Iron Theatre Company has become known as a rising star in their home of Philadelphia and as a unique, innovative voice in American theatre. Over the past 9 years, the multi-disciplinary ensemble has created 17 original performance works that range from visual spectacle at the Arden to sprawling installations in the underground catacombs of a power plant to tiny puppet shows at Beau Monde Creperie. The company has toured to festivals and theaters in London, New York, San Francisco, Ireland, Germany, Scotland, Romania, Poland, Italy and Brazil. Over the past few years, Pig Iron has created new work in residencies at Swarthmore College, Toni Morrison?s Atelier Program at Princeton University, Dance Theater Workshop and the Joseph Papp Public Theater.
The ensemble's unusual productions have been nominated for 27 Barrymore Awards, two Total Theatre Awards in London, and a Spirit of the Fringe Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. In 2002, Co-Artistic Directors Gabriel Quinn Bauriedel, Dan Rothenberg and Dito van Reigersberg were awarded a Pew Fellowship in the Arts for Performance Art.
Upcoming and recently completed projects include tours of Hell Meets Henry Halfway to Lithuania, Poland, New York & Boston; a revamped version of The Lucia Joyce Cabaret to Rhode Island and Philadelphia; Flop to Atlanta; and a new adaptation of Shakespeare's Measure for Measure, being developed through a residency at the Public Theater.
