GREEN is a live performance collaboration between YES Theater and the brand new groovy musical group Grass Future Society. Taking the form of a pared down concert of Grass Future Society's upcoming album GREEN, there will be recycled-mask dancers telling the abstracted narrative of the album, which is essentially about being stuck inside and looking out the window to see the world on fire. (Sound familiar!?) The project is grounded in finding the joy and beauty in community, and to represent the possibility of proving the opposite of the narrative of isolation and destruction.

There is a legend in our lands. A legend that all we know will one day come to end. That the seas will shake, the land will quake and the skies will flake. There will be a great final battle between the forces of light and the forces of darkness and in their midst will arise a hero. A hero, wielding a shining emblem that will decide the fates of us all. That hero...is YOU!
The Saga of the Shining Emblem is a one-of-a-kind Improvised adventure, heavily influenced by the Role Playing greats of old. Each performance, one lucky audience member is chosen to be The Hero. They are then guided through an adventure by one actor serving as narrator and all other NPCs they encounter on their journey. Their quest? To find the Shining Emblem, an object of unlimited power capable of granting any wish. How they find it (or if they even bother to quest at all) is totally up to them! Its an unbelievable, unforgettable, unimaginable adventure all made up on the spot! All set to a live score!
Created and Performed by Matthew Schott
