Vladimir Vladimir

The Dangerous Half of Magic

Oct 2 to 25

On October 2nd, Imago Theatre premieres an original comedy by Jerry Mouawad titled Vladimir Vladimir. Vladimir, a poor Yugoslavian magician, discovers the danger of magic, polarized clocks and tumbled worlds in a play that features Mouawad and co-stars Carol Triffle. The surreal comedy will be co-directed by Pat Patton, former Associate Artistic Director of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. This matrix of a play incorporates comedy, drama, an innovative set design and quick costume changes to create a hilarious yet pathetic world that finds Vladimir in unusual confrontations with himself. Science fiction, fantasy and love tangle to conjure intrigue and charm in this highly visual and physically charged performance .

Vladimir Vladimir plays October 2 to 25, at Imago Theatre, 17 S.E. 8th Avenue. The show plays Thursdays @ 7:30 (all seats $16), Fridays & Saturdays @ 8:00 (general $24, youth/senior $19). Tickets available at the door (box office opens one hour before show time) or advance tickets through TicketsWest at 503.224.8499 or online at www.ticketswest.com.
