Northern Lights/Southern Cross, Guthrie Theater
The Guthrie presents: An Interact Theater production of Northern Lights/Southern Cross:
Tales from the Other Side of the World
An international collaboration with Minnesota’s Interact Center and Australia’s Tutti Ensemble
Written by Kevin Kling
Music by Pat Rix
Directed by Jeanne Calvit
Northern Lights/Southern Cross reaches across cultures and across the hemispheres to tell the epic story of an ordinary man. Kevin Kling is a regular Minnesota guy, until his motorcycle hits the asphalt and his injured brain wakes him up on the other side of the world. Guided by Aboriginal artists, members of the Twin Cities Community Gospel Choir, and members of Native Pride Dancers, Kling’s journey home is rooted in cultural mythology, storytelling, ritual dance and music, the humor of the tricksters and the healing sense of place.
