PAGAN PLAY is a new work composed of original as well as found and borrowed text, created through the collaborative efforts of the members of Moving Parts Theatre Company.
The production is set within the forest, a forest in which one might find a princess as well as a coven of witches, a grocery store as well as a sacrificial altar, a family of tourists as well as a herd of centaurs.
This is a piece about being lost, being joyful, being afraid, being beastly, and knights. Also witches and buses. We may also show you a little bit about love, sex, and the intersection between the lives we live and the magic we imagine within them.
THE FAUN travels to the forest and, without explanation, brutally murders the King. The forest is “locked down” for security reasons, and its inhabitants (including A FAMILY OF TOURISTS, A CENTAUR, THE QUEEN, A COVEN OF WITCHES and others) degenerate and reintegrate, devolve and ascend. “Deep in the heart of man there lies a beast, deep in the heart of beasts lies a man. And it is that whom we fear.”

MOVING PARTS THEATRE, founded in 2010, is:
Based in the belief that every individual is a moving part of the greater creative machine that develops a performance.
Created with the understanding that company and ensemble are both precious as well as fluid; members may move throughout the space of their individual lives without becoming any less nor any more a part of the Company.
Named to evoke images of dance, movement, and physical expression as well as the visualization of moving words, letters, and thoughts.
Moving Parts Theatre is dedicated to the performance process that values creative collaboration above all else.
Our productions are created by integrating original, found, stolen, and borrowed text to create something which is both brand new and also quite familiar.
