Theater
The Double Edge Ensemble, led by Stacy Klein, creates original theatrical performances that are imaginative, imagistic, and visceral. These include indoor performances and site-specific indoor/outdoor traveling spectacles, both of which are developed with collaborating visual and music artists in a long term process and presented on the Farm and on national and international tours. Performances awaken spectators to new possibilities of the human heart and mind. They explode past the limits of the stage and landscape with a “flying” aesthetic, a richly sensory, dreamlike storytelling that breaks the conventional boundaries between performer and audience. The prevailing theme of all of DE’s performances are the courage and necessity of the imagination in the progress and sustainability of human life.
