"Lamb Lays with Lion
Vs.
Katie Mitchell's The Seagull"
directed by Jeremey Catterton
February 25th-28th 2010
world premiere at
The Southern Theater
featured in
Minneapolis New Breed
Lamb Lays with Lion’s staging of Chekhov's "The Seagull," is inspired by the British auteur-director, Katie Mitchell. The production has two casts who cohabit the stage and simultaneously perform the same text. Both casts employ director Jeremey Catterton’s treatment of Chekov’s play; using methods Ms. Mitchell herself employed in her famous London production. The company is very honored to have her permission to create the piece, which will take the company’s signature Theatre of Disruption to its largest experiment yet.
The Southern Theater presents
Minneapolis New Breed
Featuring Lamb Lays with Lion, Mad King Thomas and SuperGroup
February 25-28, 2010
MINNEAPOLIS, MN – Three new works, presented collective by three innovative local performance groups that blur the lines between dance, performance art and theater. Not easily defined, Lamb Lays with Lion, Mad King Thomas and SuperGroup challenge the norm and stand testament to the vibrancy of Minneapolis’ next wave of experimental performance, revealing a new breed on the local and national stage.
“For me, these three groups represent exciting and fresh directions in performance in the Twin Cities: challenging, comic, delightful, absurd, and full of mischief,” said Southern Theater program director Jon Ferguson. “All three groups are committed to exploring bright new ideas and innovative performance styles and creation techniques.”

Praise for The Black Arts:
Director Jeremey Catterton has maintained a sharp heightened style in both the acting and the visual presentation. The effect in demonically ritualistic. He has also co-created a thunderously menacing electronic sound design with Dominique Davis. Falk and Jake Lindgren's lurid costume concept is confrontational and sensual. Ben Seidman is credited as 'Magic Consultant' with intimidating props designed by Smith and Carl Atiya Swanson. Imagine the goth subculture saluting Grand Guignol at an S & M club.
