Mirin is an actor/playwright/director whose work has been produced in New York, regionally and abroad. Richard is a Swiss dancer/choreographer/designer. Local musicians Aaron Sherwood (saxophone), Peter Buchanan (guitar) and Wayne Smith (cello) created the sound design for the production.
Elmer is a city-dweller who loses his job, wanders into the countryside and learns to revive a desolate landscape – and his own happiness. The tale is told by two forest beings who transform into all the characters from Elmer’s life: mother, boss, a wise nomad, a young woman and of course – an Elder tree. The show features a significant amount of audience participation with children playing parts on stage and everyone creating the soundscapes of forests and villagers forced to leave their homes in search of water.
The Piti Theatre Company was founded in 2004 and nominated for an Independent Reviewers of New England Award after the New York and Boston premieres of “Riding the Wave.com” – Mirin’s autobiographical tale of stocks, love and spiritual searching which has been seen locally at GCC.
