JESSICA JOBARIS & GENERAL MAGIC A GREAT HUNGER

Thu – Sat | Mar 16 – 18 | 8pm
Sun | Mar 19 | 5pm

Audacious choreographer and sorceress Jessica Jobaris leads a congregation of willing pranksters on a mission to define the riddle of existence. Exhibitionism, ritual, wild dancing, and a willingness to jump from a hypothetical cliff lead them (and us) on a quest into the human condition. How can we unravel the human tragedy, making sense of life and loss? Teetering on the verge of hilarious and profound, the intergenerational cast attempts to heal itself by any and all means necessary. It’s a new church for the new millennium, and everyone is invited.

Read an interview with Jessica by Ambassador Writers Corps member Natalie Singer-Velush.

A Great Hunger is commissioned and supported through the OtB Performance Production Program.
