Is it a comedy, a tragedy, a romance? Like Quantum, Shakespeare’s Cymbeline breaks all the rules and doesn’t care. At it’s heart are many journeys. Broken families stumble back together and characters struggle through dense fog to emerge whole. Cymbeline is a tale about who we are, where we come from and how we find our way home.
Illah Nourbaksh and his team at the Robotics Institute work with Quantum team to add a unique element to the production. It depends upon surprise… but we will reveal that robotics technology will allow the audience to affect the production, and we invite each viewer’s participation in a way that’s fun.
Quantum hopes you’ll attend one of two Point Breeze Nights! Quantum loves the residents of Bill Peduto’s Point Breeze district for tolerating their presence in such a beautiful, well-used park. On two evenings, July 31 and August 19, Bill hosts a pre-show party at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts followed by a performance of the play. Point Breeze residents will receive a special discount.
