Meaningless at Great Salt Lake Fringe
In a world teetering on its head, what defines us? What actions hold true value? And more importantly, do our individual strivings create any lasting impact? Prepare to delve into these probing questions with "Meaningless," a provocative, one-act, one-person show that unearths the timeless enigmas and wisdom encapsulated in the ancient, unfiltered text of Ecclesiastes. Be ready to witness its Utah premiere as it invades the Great Salt Lake Fringe Festival with a special, limited engagement running from August 4-6.
Immerse yourself in a world that scrutinizes the essence of all things in existence, from the intoxication of wine to the allure of wealth, from the exoticism of snake charming to the opulence of concubines. "Meaningless" brings to life a poignant portrayal of a millennia-old contemplation on the human journey. It deftly intertwines universal motifs of wisdom and folly, pleasure and agony, and wraps it into an awe-inspiring live performance that strikes a fine balance between humor, reflection, and tragedy.
The heart and soul of "Meaningless" is Rodney Brazil, an actor based in Oklahoma City, who commands the stage with his charismatic presence. With directorial brilliance contributed by Emily Etherton, the duo crafts an unforgettable spectacle. Brazil's creative portfolio brims with original works that stretch across genres and themes, from "All My Ex-Boyfriends are Gay," and "Worthy Causes," to "The Ultra-Conservative Theatre Summit," "Naked Brunch," and "Pricks! The Vaccine Musical."
As it comes to the #GSLFringe, "Meaningless" is hot on the trail of its successful 2022 & 2023 US tour. The show has already captivated audiences in cosmopolitan locales such as New York City, Atlanta, Denver, Kansas City, Omaha, and Oklahoma City.
