Aftermath

Minneapolis has long been considered a hotbed of great physical theater, what with the resident clowns, mimes, and mask-makers at Theatre de la Jeune Lune. Still, in the past few years, the city has attracted an impressive fleet of younger physical-theatermakers—many of whom are packed into this single show. Aftermath marks the directing debut of Katie Kaufmann, a Connecticut transplant and theatrical clown who was lured here six years ago by Jeune Lune. This show represents Kaufmann’s toying with the idea of starting a permanent Minneapolis-based troupe. Notably, her inaugural cast includes Jon Ferguson, a recent arrival from Britain who has quickly established himself as an important director of physical plays (including the recent masterpiece Or The White Whale). Together with four others, Ferguson and Kaufmann physically render a camp of tsunami survivors with no memory of what hit them, nor any recollection of their lives before. 1501 Sixth St. S., Minneapolis; 612-341-1038; www.bedlamtheatre.org
