They Touch in Flood at IndyFringe
She killed her own kids… but the art lives on. Indianapolis-based performance group paperStrangers is making a triumphant return to local theater during the 2010 IndyFringe Festival after a wildly successful national tour.
Michael Burke’s adaptation of “Medea,” which won awards and sold out shows during IndyFringe 2009, went to Washington, D.C.; Hollywood and Cincinnati, where more sellouts came.
Rave reviews included this: “If you want to know why Greek tragedy is still vital to modern theater, go see paperStrangers Performance Groupʼs adaptation of Medea.” DC THEATRE SCENE Jenn Larson
And the LA Theatre Review honored Medea with “Outstanding Contribution to the Theatre of Los Angeles in an Ensemble Production.”
Medea, of course, is the character created by Euripides who kills her own children after a betrayal. Michael Burke, a recent Butler University graduate, is being called a “wunderkind director” by theatre critics. He serves as co-artistic director of Indianapolis-based company paperStrangers, with Tommy Lewey. Beginning this Friday, paperStrangers brings another emotion-filled production to Indianapolis as part of IndyFringe 2010.
“They Touch in Flood” is an exploration of making love, a distinctly human concept, using performers and multimedia. It might seem strange for the company to move from Greek tragedy to such an ethereal subject. But it ties in flawlessly with the company’s goal, as Burke and Lewey explain: “It is our mission to have our audiences truly feel. Our focus is evocation.”
In “Medea,” paperStrangers took the audience inside the tormented mind of the title role.
In “TTiF,” they want to take you on a reflective journey that begins with heavy emotions. “We are a theatre of feeling−an experience−one that resonates deep within each of us.” What’s next for paperStrangers? The success of “Medea” has the company already in talks to bring it to even more cities for another festival tour next summer. But the immediate plan for the company is to take a breather and enjoy their successes from a whirlwind summer of performances.

Meridian-Kessler Historic Home & Garden Tour
Saturday & Sunday, June 19 & 20, Noon – 5 pm
www.mkhometour.com
Celebrate the eco-benefits of one of Indy’s oldest neighborhoods at the 37th annual Meridian-Kessler Home & Garden Tour.
The theme for the 2010 tour, “Green By Design, ” showcases the green qualities of historic areas. Mature trees provide shade and reduce pollution. Walking to dinner, shopping or to play at the park lessens car emissions. In addition, restoring and maintaining an existing home doesn’t use the natural resources that would be consumed to build new.
View seven vintage homes and one community garden. Tour homes are selected for their interior and exterior design as well as their distinguishing architectural elements. Proceeds from the tour support the Meridian-Kessler Neighborhood Association and its revitalization efforts.
Tour tickets can be purchased the day of the event for $15 at any tour home. A good place to start the tour is the home of David Helmer at 5909 N. Washington Blvd. Advance discounted tickets are available for $12 online at www.mkhometour.com or at the following retailers:
• G. Thrapp Jewelers (56th & Illinois St.)
• The National Bank of Indianapolis (49th & Pennsylvania St.)
• Taste Café (52nd & College Ave.)
• Aristocrat Pub & Restaurant (52nd & College Ave.)
• The Fresh Market (54th & College Ave)
• Paradise Bakery & Café (all 6 Central Indiana locations)
