MANKATO – The theatre season continues next week at Minnesota State University, Mankato Department of Theatre and Dance with the opening of “Marisol.”

About “Marisol”: Brooklyn is a war zone, coffee is extinct, the moon has disappeared, and angels are trading in their wings for machine guns. As a celestial battle brews in heaven, the rebellion spills over into New York City. Without the protection of her guardian angel, Marisol Perez begins a surreal journey through the chaos of a crumbling world to find her way home. Winner of the 1993 Obie Award, “Marisol” is a harrowing and timely dark fantasia.

This production features original projections by Andreas Guest Artist Maxwell Collyard. Maxwell is a Minneapolis based multimedia performance artist living and working in Minneapolis. They act, direct, photograph, film, and create projections for performances across the Twin Cities.

“Marisol” runs Feb. 16-18 and 24-25 at 7:30 p.m. and Feb. 25 & 26 at 2 p.m. in the Ted Paul Theatre at the Earley Center for Performing Arts, Minnesota State University, Mankato.
