ALAN SUTHERLAND LITTLE BROWN MUSHROOMS

Thu - Sat | Oct 6 – 8 | 8pm
Sun | Oct 9 | 5pm

Magic mushrooms, storytelling, and science fiction come to life in a hallucinatory dance/theater meditation. Mesmerizing performance artist (and mushroom expert) Alan Sutherland brings his lifelong obsession with dance and fungi to the stage in a performance specially focused on the Northwest species Psilocybe cyanescens and its powerful psychedelic properties. Beautiful and strange, the performance draws inspiration from fantasy and science fiction and includes a crackerjack team of local collaborators.

Little Brown Mushrooms is commissioned and supported through the OtB Performance Production Program.
