“What would you sacrifice for love?”

Volpe & Líadan unearths the epic tale of two unlikely lovers on a perilous quest to steal a legendary Chrômivâl from the tyrannical shadow-lord Âyneråkt the Only. Part fantasy-heist, part fireside ballad, this immortal story of mortal sacrifice sings of shadows and stars, tricksters and beasts, and the consequences of reaching beyond one’s fate.

Featuring the wordplay of Dóla the Bard, the music and direction of Jónah the Troubadour, and a seasoned ensemble of performers, the production weaves original folk song, puppetry, and stylized physical theater to summon an otherworld of magical creatures and unforgettable characters.

Volpe & Líadan is recommended for ages 10 and up (including immortals).

Content advisory: This production contains themes of death and mortality, and some moments of stylized fantasy violence.

Both are graduates of the Pig Iron School's MFA program and draw from the well of embodied play, experimental ensemble creation, DIY stagecraft, and a mutual trickster spirit. Godfrey is a director, composer, actor, and sound designer whose Philadelphia credits include work with Pig Iron Theatre Company, Nicole Canuso Dance Company, Applied Mechanics, Sarah Sanford, and Bryn Mawr College. Amendola is a playwright, performer-creator, and educator who has performed with American Shakespeare Center, ZACH Theatre, and Drunk Shakespeare Off-Broadway, and is the founder of PLAY•JAM in Philadelphia.
