Excavations Series

Tricklock Company
Albuquerque, NM

The Excavations Series was created within Revolutions by Tricklock Company as a developmental pre-view forum for the new pieces being created for Tricklock’s regular season. It is an opportunity for our audience to give feedback and contribute to the shaping of new plays in their early stages, and for company artists to explore the theatrical dialogue between audience and performer in an effort to enrich early work. Come be a part of the creation process!

About Frankenstein:

Come be a part of the writing and creating of a new one-actor adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, which will open in full production in Tricklock's 2007 season. Since early 2005, Mr. Brummett has collaborated with sound designer C.K. Barlow, the Wizard's Playhouse of Albuquerque, and various Tricklock Company members to create a visually dynamic, sonically stunning new interpretation of Mary Shelly's classic novel. The work utilizes a variety of performance styles, including melodrama, music, puppetry, illusion, and poetry, all under the umbrella of Shelley's classic horror novel about a brilliant mind and the abomination it creates.

About Black River Falling:

In 1893, a small town in Wisconsin is mysteriously consumed with dysentery, cholera, and small pox. A remote farmhouse is quarantined during a harsh mid-western blizzard, leaving four sisters to run the farm while having to cope with the tremendous loss of parents, siblings, husbands, and children.  

Black River Falling, a new play by Tricklock Company explores the question of how one rebuilds relationships and identity while surrounded with death, fear, disease, and how in the midst of such destruction people need each other more than ever. Scheduled for its world premiere in Tricklock’s 2007 season, Black River Falling uses song, minimal text, puppetry, and highly theatrical movement to create this beautiful and elegant story of restoration, resurrection, and revival.
