BANDALOOPHarboring is an evening of new multi-dimensional dance by choreographer Amelia Rudolph in collaboration with assistant director Rachael Lincoln and the dancers of Bandaloop. Staged in and around Fort Mason Center, Harboring responds to the transitional place Fort Mason Center is and was, employing vertical, floor-based, and aerial site-reactive dance to draw the viewer into an immersive experience.

Marius is the first play in Marcel Pagnol's celebrated and heart-warming Marseille Trilogy, composed of Marius, Fanny, and Cesar. Together, the three plays tell the story of a small bar on Marseille's old harbor over an entire generation. In the endearing style of Marcel Pagnol's dramas (My Father's Castle, Manon of the Spring, The Baker's Wife, etc.) the trilogy invites us into the cycles of love, heart break, and joy that fill the lives of now famous characters: Marius, Cesar, Fanny, Panisse, Monsieur Brun, and Escartefigue.

PAST PERFORMANCES
Fort Mason Center presents is proud to announce our partnership with Carte Blanche to kick off our 2013 performance series.
Carte Blanche presents Ophelia, a walk-through experience across Fort Mason Center with dance, theater, and interactive video.
Carte Blanche re-imagines the story of Hamlet's tragic heroine, Ophelia. The story follows Ophelia beyond the pages of Shakespeare as she embarks on a journey of self-discovery.
At the crossroads between dance and theater, Ophelia is a meditation on the timelessness of this quest. Artistic director Charline Formenty channels her own story as an immigrant through this Shakesperian myth, while Arthur Rimbaud's poetry helps connect the tale to her French roots.
