Antic in a Drain (Artistic Director, Ross Travis), an Upstate California Creative Corps Grantee, Presents the World Premiere tour of 'Where Do We Go From Here', a peripatetic theater spectacle of climatic proportions traveling 205 miles through Mendocino, Lake, Colusa and Glenn Counties on an EV art trike fashioned in the form of a Bark Beetle, stopping along the way to perform an hour long satirical show to rural communities throughout the region from Fort Bragg to Willows.
'Where Do We Go From Here' was developed through an intensive community research process; Performer Ross Travis and documentary filmmaker Steve Ritchie interviewed a broad spectrum of individuals from the Mayor of Willows, an agricultural community and the county seat of Glenn County, to a group of indigenous women at Xa Kako Dile, a sustainable women-led farm on the Mendocino coast. The show combines their perspective with Ross’ research into the non-bipedal life of the region and the Extreme Heat Index to create a rigorous one man theatrical event where Ross plays fifteen characters and uses a powerful mix of irreverent comedy, tragedy, ritual, acrobatics, kinetic sculptural art and interactive ecstatic play to inform, provoke, provide tools for agency and community action on the issue of climate change and its effects on the region.
