The Neill Cochran House Museum wants to show you what happened that terrible night in 1921. Join us for an immersive, site-specific improvised Noir Fantasy produced by Golden: Silent Improvised Stories and La Fenice.
La Fenice performs Commedia dell'Arte on modern stages. Think of it like a live-action Adult Swim, combined with old school vaudeville.
Speak No More: Golden Age will be performed at the Neill-Cochran House Museum on October 28, 29, and 30, and November 5, 6, 12, 19, and 20. You can’t miss it!
Masks will be provided, and shall be worn well-fitted over the nose and mouth for the duration of the performance. Audience members who are asked more than once to adjust their masks will be removed. Ticket holders will be required to show a negative Covid test no more than three days old. This requirement can be bypassed by showing proof of vaccination.
Presented in Partnership with:
La Fenice
La Fenice's original incarnation, the Austin Commedia Society, was founded in 1999. During our four year run, we produced 13 original scenarios, were featured in John Rudlin and Olly Crick's Commedia dell'Arte: A Handbook for Troupes, and hosted an international Commedia dell'Arte Festival in 2001 with participants from both American coasts, Italy and England.
After a brief hiatus as company members pursued graduate degrees, started families and wandered the American countryside, we re-organized under our own 501(c)(3) in 2009. Since then, we have produced one original work annually, toured our performances to West Texas and area schools, organized another international festival in 2011 (with participants from Italy, Hungary, Australia, England and the USA), and established bi-monthly international dialogues on challenges faced by modern Commedia dell'Arte performers. Our members have penned chapters in international publications on Commedia dell'Arte, lectured internationally, and have taught innumerable workshops to youth and professional performers.
