The Art of Bowing

A world premiere! Three actors stumble onto an empty stage as they realize the theatre has died. In a last-ditch effort to revive it, they go on a journey through time and space to figure out the secret to what it takes to bear a creative soul in this modern world.

The Art of Bowing, a new play by Nathan Alan Davis, is a mystical, metatheatrical, and effervescent journey spanning multiple eras, places, and dimensions. Nominated for the L. Arnold Weissberger Award in 2014, Haven is developing this work for a “post-pandemic” society. This story of humanity tackles the strength of the artistic soul and what it means to be an “actor”. With the help of three characters, the audience is launched into a play with no fourth wall, no handholding, and no holds barred.
