My first FEAL experience was at Cafeina Galeria in Silver Lake a few months back. The story began with a deep voiced narrator in a white hat, who introduced the tragic protagonist and his fatal journey to Echo Park Lake. Although some of this rock opera’s themes are dark, the 4 player band beautifully lead the audience through an exciting 5 Act narrative. Two dancers used every inch of the stage, and glowed by the fireside, changing from lotus flowers to lovers.
I have since seen the FEAL show 4 more times. The music is still amazing, and the story remains mysterious and evolving.
The next FEAL performances will be on Fridays this November in Echo Park.

This is a 2d tapestry I made for the characters/players of the band. It’s 12″x18″, though the great thing about a pattern is that it can grow!
Photos from the FEAL Rock Opera Ballet at Cafeina Galeria:
You should do a zoomed-in pic of the mosaic so we can see what the pattern is
(I see a horse(?) and a dude kneeling on a kneeboard(?))
Wait, “mosaic” is the wrong term huh
stay tuned for that picture! i need to compile images of the process (which is an interesting activity to do in retrospect) to include in my post
