On Saturday at 1026 I went to see the Trutheater Theater. It was the best thing I have seen in Philadelphia in a while. It was a play about man and nature and it had a great title "The unbroken circle of broken things." It was low budget but not too low budget. In other words, lots of cardboard, but electric stuff too, which made it economical and intelligent.

Here is a blurb about it:

"A tree, a thief, an alchemist and an albatross match wits in this cycle of parables within parables whose cumulative power unveils a new plane of reality for the weary wanderer to enter upon and leave all worries behind. TRUTHEATER THEATER weaves this all together with their signature blend of transformative costumery, shadow puppets, video projections, electronic music, eerie voices and blacklit magic. THE UNBROKEN CIRCLE OF BROKEN THINGS promises a visceral experience, engulfing each and every audience member in its spell of baffling wonder."
