Water freezes onto a snowflake as it falls. Graupel is an accretion.
College of the Atlantic's Production class presents Graupel, an accumulation of time, place, sculpture and performance that found itself frozen on the ice at Little Long Pond in Seal Harbor, MDI - then was relocated to the COA campus. Structured as an opera in 5 acts, docents and entities guide the audience through a possibly frozen landscape that is at once familiar and unknown.
An otherworldly ship crashes onto the ice. Birds migrate and flock. The sun sets. Shadows inhabit spaces between us and our imaginations. Visions from past and future freeze and thaw.
As day turns to night, crossing between history and memory, Graupel compels us to gather and ask, what does it mean to embrace winter?
Even during the coldest winter evening, fire warms and illuminates the bodies and the work and reminds us that, like art, even the thickest ice is ephemeral.
Audience members will travel alongside the performance. Dress for the Maine winter, dress for mud and ice, bring your boots, grippers, whatever you need to journey across the terrain.
The show is open to the community and is family friendly (but not pets please!)
Admission is free but registration is required.
