Evanston, IL, January 25, 2012 — DreamLogic Theatreworks is known for creating exhilarating performance events at the bleeding-edge of live entertainment. Now, inspired by modern horror's greatest innovator, DreamLogic presents its most provocative event yet: H.P. Lovecraft's ELDER GODS. The production will celebrate its gala opening Friday, February 17 at The Davis, 620 Davis Street, in Downtown Evanston, IL. Preview performances will be open to the public Friday and Saturday, February 10 and 11. The production will run February 17 – March 3.
According to Managing Director David Sweeney, “at DreamLogic, we believe it isn't enough just to put on a show. We take you inside another world, let you explore it from every angle, at every moment in real time. The voyeuristic thrill our audiences experience is unlike anything you've ever felt in a live performance.”
In a recent interview, Artistic Director Scott McKinsey explored why Lovecraft is compelling, terrifying and uniquely suited to the DreamLogic treatment. “He knows how to get under your skin, in your blood, in your mind,” says McKinsey. “His horror is visceral, cerebral… very contemporary. It's sexy.”
H.P. Lovecraft is one of the great creative visionaries of the 20th Century. Contemporary giants such as Stephen King, Guillermo del Toro, Neil Gaiman, Joss Whedon, John Carpenter and Ridley Scott all credit Lovecraft as inspiration for some of their most iconic work. Without Lovecraft, contemporary science fiction and horror as we know them would not exist.
The Davis at 620 Davis Street is an expansive historic structure overlooking the vibrant center of Downtown Evanston. The structure's elegant facade, sweeping floor plan and dramatic construction have all been utilized to the fullest in transporting the audience into Lovecraft's inhumanly beautiful universe.
