Clouds from a Crumbling Giant, a collaborative performance project, will be presented by the UC Davis Department of Theatre and Dance March 3-5 in the Main Theater, Wright Hall.

Devised by Granada Artist-in-Residence Shinichi Iova-Koga, the project follows the birth and death of a species, an empire, a universe, a flower. Time unfolds on stage like a wheel revolving, seeming to follow a path that becomes the snake eating its own tail. Behind the curtain, vibrations emerge to shape the earth, the rocks, the people. Clouds from a Crumbling Giant teems with stillness and wild movement, spoken text, song and sound.

The project’s creative team includes lighting designer Allen Willner, costume designer Rebecca A. Valentino, composer and music director Dan Cantrell (working with musicians Suki O’Kane, Edward Schocker and Jon Raskin), assistant choreographer Ann Dragich and dramaturge Miriam Wolodarski.
