2024 CTG Edinburgh Trip Highlights
Artist Meet Ups
The CTG group met up with Todd Almond after his gorgeous one-person show I'm Almost There based on The Odyssey.
Edinburgh International Festival
Some of the group elected to see Teatro La Plaza's Hamlet (Peru) at EIF.
This stunning show blended Shakespeare’s text with personal anecdotes from the lives of a group of young performers with Down syndrome. This spring the show has moved on to Chicago Shakespeare Theatre.
Sawdust Symphony
A favorite of the group: Carpentry and circus collide. In Sawdust Symphony Michael Zandl, David Eisele and Kolja Huneck combine their passion for crafting, object manipulation and fresh wood. The piece explores the human desire to create: the process from vision to construction, the tragedy of work and the relationship between tools and humans.

Late Night Cabaret
