Double Edge Theatre

The Grand Parade depicts major events of the 20th century inspired by visual artist Marc Chagall's kaleidoscopic vision of humanity. Using elements of trapeze, circus, dance, and music, the century unfolds in a rush of juxtapositions that include the ecstasy of landing on the moon, the skilled escapes of Houdini, and Hitler's brutalization of Europe. Conceived by Stacy Klein, co-created with the ensemble, and including original compositions by Russian composer Alexander Bakshi, The Grand Parade is a work of memory, memorial, and celebration that makes us consider where we are now by examining where we have come from.
