DECEMBER 20–29, 2019
Created by Becca Johnson-Spinos,
Logan Beutel, and Dylan Weand

Directed by ​Becca Johnson-Spinos
Vertical Divider
A new interpretation of the classic Greek myth. Bickering brothers Icarus, a storyteller who dreams of soaring amongst the stars, and Daedalus, the most famous inventor of all time, find themselves locked away in the top of a high tower by King Minos of Crete. As they bemoan their fate, they remember the events that led them there - an unforgivable crime, a treacherous maze with a fearsome minotaur, and haunting dreams of falling and betrayal. Tensions rise between the brothers as their imprisonment wears on, and it seems their very lives are at stake. To escape certain death, Daedalus must create the one invention he thought he never could - a pair of working wings. But what will happen when Icarus is finally given a chance to live out his dreams, spread his wings, and fly?

Reviews
“Outcry Theatre takes on a classical myth of two brothers and adapts it for a modern audience thorough both poetic language and a fantastic (and very demanding) physical movement performance. In Dreams of Icarus, director Becca Johnson-Spinos and actors Logan Beutel and Dyland Weand together co-create and devise an intricate and totally accessible narrative that clearly exposes the heart of the struggle between the mythical Icarus and his older brother, Deadalus.” “Go for the story, the wonderful music, and marvel at the energetic and heart-felt performance.”
-Teresa Marrero, TheaterJones 
“The telling of this story is the reason to see this show. It is an explosion of talent and energy and conviction.” “Outcry Theatre has produced a show capable of touching hearts while showing the talent of three creators and two actors to the fullest.”
-Chris Hauge, John Garcia's The Column 
“Dreams of Icarus from Outcry Theatre defies categorization. Is it a play? Is it performance art? Is it a modern ballet? Whatever it is, this retelling of the myth of Icarus and Daedalus is a beautiful piece of art.” “Weand and Beutel deftly pull on our heartstrings as well as engaging our minds.” “I am in awe of the talent of director Becca Johnson-Spinos. The pacing of the play is a marvel in itself. She has crafted moments of breathtaking beauty here.” “Dreams of Icarus is a unique and engrossing evening of theater unlike anything else I have experienced in the Metroplex. Don't try to categorize it. Just let its beauty take wing and sweep over you.”
-Doug Sturdivant
