“Nancy’s work has always had visual flair and wild imagination. [For Apollo]- utilizing juxtapositions of movement, multi-media, text and sound- she transformed her work from an exciting idea to a brilliant new theatrical world.” - Chris Coleman

If the brilliant collage artists Robert Rauschenberg had created a play, this is what it might look like. One of the most adventurous productions ever offered on a PCS stage, Apollo is an epic, multimedia examination of post WWII America which explores the birth of the U.S. space program, its employment of former-Nazi rocket scientists, and their surprising intersection with the Civil Rights Movement. Using the U.S. mission to the moon as a symbol of our country’s greatness, Apollo probes deep into the question: what did we sacrifice to become the America we are today? And was it worth it? Through a kaleidoscopic array of theatrical methods (movement, text, video projection, music), Keystone reveals the costs and ambiguities of human aspiration and progress.

Hungry for More New Work? Apollo is a proud participant in Fertile Ground, the city-wide festival of new work running January 23rd through Feb 1st throughout Portland. Purchase a Festival Pass from PCS and you can see Apollo plus more than 20 other world premiere projects from theater companies all over the city. Get the details here.
