The show presents a fresh look at paper folding in the 21st Century with large-scale origami-inspired metal sculptures.

Their intricate folds have been transformed into monumental metal sculpture by Kevin Box and his studio team to inspire, educate and entertain audiences in the outdoor setting of public gardens.

SYNOPSIS
ACT I

Montparnasse. The poet Rodolfo and the painter Marcello are struggling to keep warm in their attic apartment on Christmas Eve. Rodolfo sacrifices his latest manuscript to the stove. The philosopher Colline enters and they watch the play burn. In comes the musician Schaunard with food, fuel and wine. As the young men celebrate their sudden good fortune, Benoît the landlord enters to collect the rent. They get him drunk and ply him with questions about women, then shove him out, feigning indignation at his supposed immorality. Marcello, Colline and Schaunard set out for the Café Momus, leaving Rodolfo alone to finish an article. He hears a timid knock: it is a pretty neighbor whose candle has gone out on the stairs. She suddenly feels faint, and he revives her with a little wine and relights her candle. She realizes she has lost her key, and as they both bend down to look for it, he finds it and slips it into his pocket. Their hands meet under the table, hers icy cold. He asks her name. She is called Mimì, and she lives alone in a garret where she embroiders flowers. The two are instantly and madly enamored and leave for the Café Momus to join Rodolfo’s friends.

ACT II

The Latin Quarter. Everyone is in the street–selling, shopping, dining, celebrating. Rodolfo buys Mimì a lovely gift and they join the others at a table at the Café Momus to order supper. Parpignol the toy-vendor passes by with jubilant children in his wake. A commotion accompanies the entrance of the spectacular Musetta, once Marcello’s lover, upon the arm of the aged and wealthy Alcindoro. Musetta sings a chic waltz–a hymn to her own appeal–then makes a scene over a too-tight shoe. She sends Alcindoro off with it to the cobbler’s and falls into Marcello’s arms. The military band passes by, and the friends follow the soldiers, leaving Alcindoro to pay the bill when he returns.

ACT III

A gate to the city. A cold dawn breaks as milk women, scavengers, farmers, and truckmen wait to be admitted. Mimì arrives and sends a message to Marcello to come out of the warm, lively tavern to talk to her. She explains that Rodolfo is so jealous that she fears they must part. Rodolfo comes out of the tavern in search of Marcello, and Mimì hides. Rodolfo tells Marcello that he wants to separate from Mimì because of her flirtatiousness. Marcello doesn’t believe him, and Rodolfo confesses his real fear that their poverty aggravates her declining health. Mimì weeps and coughs violently, revealing her presence. Rodolfo rushes to her. They gently decide to part. Marcello hears Musetta’s laughter from the tavern and soon re-emerges with her in the heat of a quarrel over her flirtatiousness. While they hurl epithets, Mimì and Rodolfo postpone their parting until the spring.

ACT IV

Montparnasse. Back in the attic, Rodolfo longs for Mimì, of whom he has had no news, and Marcello pines for Musetta, who is with a wealthy patron. Colline and Schaunard bring a little food, and the friends seek to lift their spirits with a frolic, which turns into a mock duel. In the midst of the fun Musetta bursts in, saying she has met Mimì in the street. The girl is desperately ill and wants only to be brought up to Rodolfo. Rodolfo brings Mimì in and holds her icy hands. They have nothing to give her. Musetta takes off her earrings and gives them to Marcello to sell. Colline goes to pawn his coat. Musetta runs off to get a muff for Mimì’s hands. Left alone, Mimì and Rodolfo relive and proclaim their love. Musetta and the others return, bustling, Musetta praying, but it is too late. While they prepare medicine for her, she slips away. As the others stand dazed, Rodolfo collapses upon her: “Mimì! Mimì!”

Love, loyalty and lies can be a tricky trio. In Mozart’s hands, they’re perfectly wound into a comedy brimming with mistaken identities, youthful yearning and hilarious antics. Will Figaro keep his wife’s heart safe from the Count’s amorous advances?

Music By: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Libretto By: Lorenzo Da Ponte

Sung in: Italian

Instant Translation Screen: English and Spanish

Run Time: Approximately 3 hours 27 minutes; includes a 25-minute intermission

ACT I

Morning. On the morning of his wedding, Figaro is trying out the space for the marital bed while his fiancée Susanna is trying on the bridal hat she’s made. He praises Count Almaviva’s generosity in moving them to this room as their first shared dwelling as man and wife. She is less than impressed by a “generosity” that moves their employer closer to reclaiming his jus primae noctis (feudal privilege of the lord to spend the wedding night with any bride who is a vassal on his lands). She runs to attend to the Countess, and Figaro resolves to foil the Count’s lascivious plan.

Marcellina has her own plans for Figaro’s wedding. Figaro has borrowed a large sum from her which he guaranteed against his own hand in marriage, she enlists Bartolo’s help. Knowing the Count is pursuing Susanna, she calculates that if the servant can deny the master, Almaviva will punish his wife’s maid by denying the wedding. Bartolo enjoys the idea of revenge on the valet of the man who ruined his own wedding plans (to Rosina, now Countess Almaviva) years ago. Susanna enters and she and Marcellina exchange too many compliments for either to proceed in the direction in which she was headed.

Cherubino the page intercepts Susanna and begs her to intercede for him with his godmother the Countess, that she may plead for him to the Count, who caught him the day before alone with tweenaged Barbarina and tried to throw him off the estate. The arrival of the Count interrupts their conversation, and Cherubino hides behind an armchair. Thus he accidentally overhears the Count’s gallantries toward Susanna — which are cut off by the arrival of Basilio, who’s come to confide Cherubino’s indiscretions toward the Countess. The Count hides behind the same chair and fumes. When his jealous pride can take no more, he bursts forth, only to discover he’s been hiding back-to-back with the page himself. A chorus of peasants, directed by Figaro, enters singing praise to the Count for having abolished the jus primae noctis. Desperate to be spared further embarrassment, Almaviva makes an excuse to hold the wedding that evening. Desperate to be rid of the pest, he orders Cherubino to report for duty as an officer of his regiment in Seville.

ACT II

Mid-day. The Countess, alone in her apartments, longs for the love she and her husband once enjoyed. Susanna comes to tell her of the Count’s unwanted attentions. Figaro joins them and presents his plan to trap the master: Figaro has sent him an unsigned note, by way of Basilio, revealing an assignation between the Countess and an admirer, fixed for that evening in the garden. He advises Susanna to pretend to accept the Count’s invitation to a tryst — and to send Cherubino (who has yet to leave for the army) in her clothes, in her place. The ladies, delighted, lock the door and commence costuming; but the arrival of the Count interrupts them and the panicked Countess hides Cherubino in the dressing-room. The Count shows his lady the mysterious note, hears a sudden sound, sees the Countess’s unease, tries to force the door, is dissuaded, demands the she escort him to fetch the necessary tools to open the closet … while Susanna slips in to take Cherubino’s place and the unluckily lucky boy leaps out the open window into the hedgerows. Returning, the Count is astonished to see Susanna, and not the hated page, step calmly from the wardrobe. The Countess is vindicated and the Count begs her pardon — though not before chastising her for such a cruel joke. Figaro enters to say the ceremony is prepared and awaits the celebrant. The Count filibusters. The gardener Antonio blusters in having just seen a man jump from above and hit the ground running. Figaro covers for the page, hopping to identify himself as the jumper. Then Marcellina and Bartolo bring their grievance and its attendant documentation, demanding the Count settle the score and marry Marcellina and Figaro.

ACT III

Afternoon. Almaviva considers the recent events. Susanna pops in for a flask of smelling salts for her mistress and, to his surprise, stays to make a date. Overhearing her whispering to Figaro on her way out, he realizes he’s the victim of a trick, and swears revenge. Meanwhile, Barbarina takes a nervous Cherubino back to her house to disguise him. An anxious Countess waits for Susanna to plan their own disguise: she herself, and not Cherubino, will meet the Count in Susanna’s clothes.

Don Curzio brings Marcellina’s case before the Count, demanding that Figaro pay up. But seeing the unusual tattoo on his arm, she and Bartolo recognize him as the fruit of their long-ago love. Not his bride and her defender, then, but his mother and father … everyone is overjoyed! Everyone except the Count, who now, with Figaro’s debt forgiven and the additional wedding of Marcellina and Bartolo to celebrate, must rethink his own plans.

The Count is sure Cherubino has left for Seville, but Antonio enters insisting that the boy is still on the grounds. Improvising on Figaro’s strategy, the Countess dictates a note to Susanna inviting the Count to the garden that evening. They seal it with a pin, to be “returned to sender.” A chorus arrives, containing one conspicuously awkward bridesmaid, and sings to the Countess, as Susanna kneels before the lord of the manor and slips him the note, on which he pricks his finger. The Countess recognizes Cherubino, and the Count soon does too. At the boiling point, he is outwitted by Barbarina, who asks to have the page for her husband.

ACT IV

Evening. Barbarina has been outwitted by the pin that pricked the Count. Figaro and Marcellina find her looking frantically for it, and she tells them the Count expects her to return it to Susanna. His suspicions fully kindled, Figaro turns to his mother, who reminds him that all the strategic strata are surely not yet known — and who, when he storms away “to avenge all husbands,” hastens to inform her former rival, now daughter-to-be, Susanna. Barbarina hides in the pavilion. Susanna and the Countess trade cloaks in the cooling air, and the Countess hides in the pavilion. Susanna, warned by Marcellina that Figaro is hiding in the dark, revels for a delicious instant in the knowledge that he’s listening. Cherubino enters in search of Barbarina, and finding “Susanna,” tries to seduce her — until the Count arrives for his own assignation and throws the lad out. While he attends in earnest to “Susanna,” the woman he thinks he’s found is found out by her own husband. Figaro has recognized Susanna’s voice, and he joins the joke by playing a grand love scene with his “Countess” for an audience of Almaviva. The Count’s jealousy explodes. While he is shouting down his servants’ cries for mercy, the Countess steps out to reveal herself. The Count is thunderstruck. He begs her forgiveness. The couples are reunited, and this mad day rolls to a close.

Cowboy Mouth, by Sam Shepard and Patti Smith, is an urban fable about a woman who kidnaps a young man at gunpoint, taking him hostage from his wife and child to make him a pop prophet, ''like a rock-and-roll Jesus with a cowboy mouth.”

Zoe Lesser will direct this exhilarating and poetic play that serves as a cautionary tale about using art as deliverance from our flaws and relating to someone’s potential instead of who they are.

September 11-14, 18-21, and 25-28

Performances Thursday through Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m., Sunday matinees at 2 p.m., with the first Thursday a limited seating preview at 7:30 p.m. All performances at The Lab Theater, 1213 Parkway, Santa Fe - – one block from Meow Wolf.

Winner of the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Paula Vogel’s How I Learned to Drive, is a wildly funny, surprising and devastating tale of survival as seen through the lens of a troubling relationship between a young girl and an older man.

Village Voice described it as “…a tremendous achievement, genuine and genuinely disturbing…This is, quite simply, the sweetest and most forgiving play ever written about child abuse…Vogel’s delicate tactic makes sense not only as a way to redouble the dramatic effect, but as a representation of reality, a perfect case of the form fitting the subject.”

Emily Rankin will direct

Performances: Thursday through Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m., Sunday matinees at 2 p.m., with the first Thursday a limited seating preview at 7:30 p.m. \

In 1911, Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her discovery of the elements radium and polonium.

By 1912, she was the object of ruthless gossip over an alleged affair, all but erasing her achievements from public memory.

Weakened and demoralized by the press, Marie joins her friend and colleague Hertha Ayrton, an electromechanical engineer and suffragette, to recover from the scandal at Hertha's seaside retreat on the British coast.

The Half-life of Marie Curie, which will be directed by NMAL founder Robert Benedetti, revels in the power of female friendship as it explores the relationship between these two brilliant women, both of whom are mothers, widows, and fearless champions of scientific inquiry.

THE HALF LIFE OF MARIE CURIE:  November 20-23, 28-30, and December 4-7

Performances Thursday through Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m., Sunday matinees at 2 p.m., with the first Thursday a limited seating preview at 7:30 p.m.
