Spindleworks Presents
SUn Universe
(or, The Sun God Ra)
Sun Universe, a new devised play, takes inspiration from sun gods across cultures and explores how our associations with the sun's power shift and transform based on how we personify it. We also honor the sun's presence in our daily lives though sun salutations and things like putting on sunscreen. After songs, movement, bats, stories, the entrances and exits of gods, a mystery with the angel of death, and an improvised standup set, the play culminates in a blinding appearance by the sun itself.
