It’s the morning before an ancient coin auction in NYC and emerging artist Ciel is stuck working yet another menial temp assignment. An old money bidder arrives early to inspect the legal tender and so begins a daydream about lottery winnings, caskets, sex fantasies, delulus of grandeur, Sergei Diaghilev, and Big Oil Banks. The physical characters onstage duet with the voices in their heads, mounting a tragicomic class stand-off and a toast to the relentless spirit of artists living on the brink of precarity.
Written by Nic Adams (Corona Cam Show, Icarus in the L.E.S., Duet-ed), directed by Princess Grace Award-winner Marissa Joyce Stamps (Being Up in Here..., Blue Fire Burns the Hottest), the cast of Rainbow's End is led by Cristina Pitter (ixchel, decolonizing my vagina, cracking open).
