DEATH AND LIFE IN ASHMIRE
Double Jinx
"We are many Severinos. The same life and the same fate: To break these stones, sweating over them, the fate of trying to wake this arid land, trying to pull a harvest... out of ash."
Our Severino, however, chooses to leave the barren hills of his country, Ashmire.
In his path, Death comes in many forms: Sharpshooters, alchemists, nobles, but he won't stop until he finds a better life on the violent cliffs of Brynemere.
Double Jinx's "Death & Life in Ashmire" is a fantasy adaptation of an epic Brazilian poem, offering a funny and lighthearted nosedive into the fantasy world of Tephra: Our post-medieval realm full of sword-swinging, gunslinging, and alchemy brewing warfare.
Expect an hour of highly entertaining, fast-paced, and physically precise mime, puppetry, slapstick comedy, multi-rolling, and mask work.
This is a silly-serious story about Death. More specifically, the amount of Death necessary to get a migrant to the place they want to be, and the strange creatures they meet along the way.
