In May 2011, Invertigo produced its annual mainstage show, Fun in Limbo.  It was our biggest production to date, and we were tremendously proud of the results.  We planned to use video footage to launch a touring program and to apply for grants.  Our videographer’s hard-drive was stolen and the footage was lost.  This is a terrible blow for the company.  However, we are taking these lemons and making lemon meringue pie.  We are taking this opportunity to restage and refilm our performance as a free show.

Donations are welcomed to help us cover the cost of restaging the show, which amounts to $10,000 – not in our annual budget.  (We are very grateful to the Los Angeles Theater Center, who have donated the re-rental of the theatre to this project.)

Join us for a wild and fanciful blend of intense physicality and theatricality, the evening features “Fun in Limbo” by Laura Karlin and “Falling for Feathers” by Sofia Klass.

“Fun in Limbo”, by Laura Karlin, is inspired by the character Miss Havisham, from Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations.  An array of characters is suspended in time, in a room, in limbo.  Each person has been heartbroken and remains stuck in their heartbreak.  They clash, laugh, mourn, tease, flirt, brawl, heal and try to find a way out.  Part Dickens, part One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and part European dance theatre, “Fun in Limbo” creates a strange and beautiful world.

“Falling for Feathers”, by Sofia Klass, observes the similarities between the dating and mating patterns of birds and humans.  Five dancers ruffle each others feathers, fly, fight and fall in love, all to an original score blended with narration by David Attenborough.  Will fate or flirting direct love’s course?

Dancers: Carole Biers, Louie Cornejo, Hugo Diaz, F. Nicholas Factoran, SaraAnne Fahey, Laura Karlin, Sofia Klass,  Jodie Mashburn, Hannah Rutherford, Chris Smith, Kim Thompson.
