Menagerie of Angels is inspired by the Williams title Something Cloudy, Something Clear — and a quote from that play: “Life is all — it’s just one time. It finally seems to all occur at one time.” The result is a braiding of ghost stories, where figures that might be out of Tennessee Williams’ dreams are stuck between life and death: waiting, eternally present, eternally alone, eternally expectant.
This new work by Philadelphia’s Die-Cast ensemble invites its audience to follow five tales that divert, lead astray, then weave together into an impossible love story. Audience members may follow the characters that interest them in the order that interests them. As characters overlap spatially, the audience can break off and follow different characters, or simply remain in one location and watch who passes through. As audiences roam, they become haunters themselves.
