Pew Fellow and theater artist Thaddeus Phillips presents the world premiere of A Billion Nights On Earth, a visual theater work that blends performance art, pop-up storybook design techniques, and a cinematic score. Created in collaboration with visual artist Steven Dufala and composer Juan Gabriel Turbay, the work is anchored by a series of bold visual installations, ranging from a 15-foot inflatable whale and deep sea underwater lights, to floating tents and an electric train, and will feature an evolving, circus-style environment. A Billion Nights On Earth debuts during the 2017 FringeArts Festival.
