The Guthrie Theater presents a Transatlantic Love Affair production of: Promise Land

January 27 - February 12

Transatlantic Love Affair, helmed by artistic director Isabel Nelson, is a physical theater ensemble specializing in collaboratively created, original storytelling. Winner of City Pages’ Best Theater Troupe in 2016, Transatlantic Love Affair commits themselves to the belief that the human body is the ultimate theatrical instrument. The company has created seven original works: Ballad of the Pale Fisherman, Red Resurrected, Ash Land, These Old Shoes, Solitaire, 105 Proof; or, The Killing of Mack "The Silencer" Klein and Emilie/Eurydice. All productions have been recognized for their exceptional quality, establishing Transatlantic Love within the vibrant Twin Cities theater community and beyond. Directed by Isabel Nelson and Diogo Lopes, conceived by Lopes and created by the ensemble, this new piece re-imagines the story of Hansel and Gretel as a tale of immigration and investigates what forces can compel one to leave their family and home to venture on a journey through the dark and tangled unknown in search of something better. Part of the Level Nine Series, devoted to community dialogue about today’s most significant topics and questions. Every Dowling Studio performance includes a discussion component.

Tickets in the Dowling Studio are $9. Seating in the Dowling Studio is General Admission.
