The Sun Also Rises  (The Select)

The first world war is over, but some battles still rage on.

The Sun Also Rises, Ernest Hemingway's first major novel, follows a group of weary, aimless and frequently inebriated American expatriates searching for identity, redemption and diversion in Europe. Told with spare and tightly written prose, Hemingway's story winds its way through France and Spain and lands in Pamplona where bullfighting and the fiesta rage in the streets. In this world premiere staging from acclaimed New York ensemble Elevator Repair Service, Hemingway's novel comes to
life on a stage littered with liquor bottles and cafe chairs.

Elevator Repair Service's interpretations of classic American novels by F Scott Fitzgerald and William Faulkner have garnered critical acclaim across the world. An illuminating stage interpretation of one of America's greatest literary works, The Sun Also Rises(The Select) features the ensemble's trademark sound design, highly energized choreography and re-imagined bullfighting.

A co-production between Elevator Repair Service and New York Theatre Workshop. Commissioned by the Ringling International Arts Festival and John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art and in association with the Baryshnikov Arts Center; the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival with funding from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through the Philadelphia Theatre Initiative; and ArtsEmerson: the World on Stage.
