A Color Spectrum Anthology Show
Phantom Chorus Theatre presented their first large-scale production, CHROMA, performed the first two weekends in June 2023 at Dreamland Arts in Saint Paul. 2 performances were ASL interpreted, 2 audio-described, and 1 sensory friendly, and all performances were available on live-stream. 4 hours of free CHROMA workshops were taught by the artists at adult day-camps and public community spaces.
CHROMA is a new, original work: a collection of 9 scenes, each themed around a different color of the visual spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo violet, black, and white). In this colorful adventure, audiences witnessed eight different directors’ unique visions; an anthology told through the mediums of puppetry, movement, music, and multimedia.
