Behind the scenes on the making of Rogue Artists Ensemble's upcoming HYPERBOLE: bard!




HYPERBOLE: bard is an original, family-friendly performance created by Rogue Artists Ensemble that recreates a collection of William Shakespeare’s most famous scenes through clowning, masked movement, puppets, and original music. Full of wonder and whimsy, HYPERBOLE: bard will be an incredible performance you won’t want to miss!

HYPERBOLE: bard follows a great tradition of HYPERBOLE projects with the two rules that they must not contain any human faces or spoken text. The last HYPERBOLE project, HYPERBOLE: origins, was performed at [Inside] the Ford in 2010 and was nominated for production of the year by the LA Weekly.

Upcoming Performances:
June 29th at 1pm & 4pm - PREVIEW! - Carlson Park, Culver City
July 9th - 19th @ 4:30pm - Annenberg Beach House, Santa Monica
July 27 – 28th @ 4pm - West Hollywood Park, West Hollyood

HYPERBOLE: bard is made possible in part by a Culver City Art in Public Places Program Performing Arts Grant with support from Sony Pictures Entertainment and the Beach=Culture program at the Annenberg Community Beach House, sponsored by the City of Santa Monica, Cultural Affairs Division, West Hollywood Cultural Affairs Department, City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department, Los Angeles County Arts Commission and all of Rogue Artists Ensemble supporters.
