With an eye on vaudeville, the night sky, and the note, If I die, my knowledge may die with me, Cupola Bobber's new performance investigates the stars, the railroad, and their memories in a struggle to pinpoint something infinitely satisfying. Imagining the possibilities implied by the sudden conquering of space in the style of Buster Keaton—a transcontinental railroad, a man on the moon, a railroad built to the stars—and building a universe out of cardboard, Cupola Bobber discover a beautiful moment built like a monument.

Cupola Bobber is collaboration between Stephen Fiehn and Tyler Myers. Founded in 1999, this is their third evening-length performance. Stephen Fiehn also plays in the bands Fessenden + WORK and Tyler Myers also makes work with the Chicago art collective Lucky Pierre. www.cupolabobber.com
