Overview

Following the gnawing death of his mother, Charlie escapes into the hardscrabble desert of New Mexico to hunt for his father. Guided by a bizarre trio of hermits and haunted by the shame of growing up gay, Charlie leaves behind the safety of Los Alamos and enters a strange world of magic and beasts to learn what only the desert can teach him: letting go is fucking hard.

With over 100 offerings – from rebellious circus, delicious dance, fearless theatre and activist art to workshops, parties, and more – Cannonball pushes the boundaries of live performance at four different venues this Fringe. Come as you are and stay past bedtime. Blaze your own trail at cannonballfestival.org.
