WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
An original blend of magic realism, retold fairy-tales and vaudeville, Saturn's Wake salutes the high as well as the low of the shining, seething Big Apple. Orphaned brothers Dana and Johnny trek through a mythical New York cityscape collecting an assortment of motley sidekicks along the way. Pursued by The Skatekids, a ferocious gang that travel through the City on bad-ass wheels, Dana and company adventure through a surreal New York, where they find boys hatched from bird's eggs, wager on cockroach boxing, and visit strip clubs infested with fleas. Part After Hours, part Gangs of New York mixed with Buster Keaton zaniness, this show brings audiences through a magical, mythical and mysterious New York, both out of the past and into the future.

A young boy hatches from a sky blue egg. A magical fish grants three wishes. A red-faced devil forces a man to eat his child. Saturn's Wake contains striking imagery and imaginative writing. The use of movement and music lends the performance piece a surreal air. And yet, somehow, all of this does not quite make for a theatrically compelling experience.
Created and performed by Deke Weaver and Michael Farkas, the show is a hodge-podge of mythical references. One of the primary sources of inspiration is Goya's painting "Saturn Devouring His Children"; a reproduction of that gothic masterpiece hangs on the wall of Mark Rosenblatt's cluttered set. Numerous references are made to Saturn through[...]
