Gnostic Coincidence will be at Cité Des Arts this week. This production features Andrew Hunter II, Blaine Peltier, Jessica Quinn, Yvonne Olivier, Jessica Leblanc, April Peltier, and musical contributions from seven local musicians. The piece blends the realism of two strangers meeting in a park with the abstract representation of dreams. Can the two main characters see through the material illusions which keep them chained to unfulfilled lives or will they listen to their muses and accept the deeper vision which will let them see and pursue a more meaningful existence?
WHEN: Friday March 27th at 7:30pm
COST: $10.00
For additional information and reservations, please contact Cité at 337-291-1122

Theatre--Explication
Gnosis is a mystical transcendence of the material world to a deep understanding of the spiritual plane of existence. It values an ecstatic rejection of materialism since the material world is transitory and fleeting whereas the spiritual world is both eternal and real in a fundamental sense.
Gnostic Coincidence is a new theatre piece by local author Steven Cooper which concerns itself with a Gnostic revelation in search of both a teacher and a pupil. A seemingly random meeting in a park between the homeless Buzbee (Andrew Hunter II) and a stressed corporate climber named Ralph (author Steven Cooper) sets the stage for a series of dream encounters with each character's deepest hopes and fears. The dreams are portrayed in dance, song and choral speech by four Muses (Jessica Quinn, Yvonne Olivier, Jessica Leblanc and April Peltier) and a mysterious antagonist called The Shadow (Blaine Peltier). Can these two men see through the material illusions which keep them chained to unfulfilled lives or will they listen to their muses and accept the deeper vision which will let them see and pursue a more meaningful existence? Keep in mind that gnosis can be pursued on the material plane as well as on a nonmaterial plane. In gnosis, Death and Life are really the same existence experienced in different ways. Cooper's play explores both possibilities.
Gnostic Coincidence will be performed at the AOC building at the corner of Lee and Main Streets in downtown Lafayette March 6th, 12th, 13th, 20th and 26th. Performances are at 7:30 and tickets are $10.00.
There will also be a special performance at the Whirlybird in Opelousas to benefit the Stonewood Foundation on March 14 at 3:30 PM. That ticket is $30.00 and includes dinner after the show. For information on all performances, call 337-849-8627.
This is a great opportunity to support local theatre and original theatre. Gnostic Coincidence is a highly theatrical presentation which mixes realism and surrealism; naturalistic moments with song, dance and poetry. Although this piece is challenging in some ways, it is also very accessible and suitable for all ages (although there is one technical sexual reference).
