Cupola Bobber
Way Out West, the Sea Whispered Me
Fri-Sun, April 17-19 & 24-26
$15 ($10 students/seniors), Buy Tickets Now!

Cupola Bobber’s home-spun minimal aesthetic and poker-faced absurdist charm builds an exploration of how the Sea functions as a dwarfing muse of existential contemplation, a place of leisure, and a heartless destroyer. The Chicago-based duo uses inspiration from Laurel & Hardy and Gilbert & George, and props artfully manipulated to establish their Sea on land, in the sky, and in the theater.

“Cupola Bobber can lay claim to a special talent for alternative performance making of disarmingly odd, cosmic charm.” ~ The Times of London

Way Out West, the Sea Whispered Me is a National Performance Network Creation Fund Project co-commissioned by Links Hall and PS122 in partnership with NPN. Major contributors of the National Performance Network are Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, Ford Foundation, Nathan Cummings Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts (a federal agency).
