You entered through a grassy rabbit hole into the evocative Wonderland inside the Marigny Opera House. The folding chairs on either side of the nave of this deconsecrated church soon filled. On the floor between the rows of chairs were 10 sleepers (all New Orleans Center for Creative Arts dance students) under blankets. Off to one side, Shane Courville played original music on a baby grand piano.
After going down a rabbit hole, you would expect some of Lewis Carroll’s famous nonsense. In this case, it was a phantasmagoric avant-garde ballet based on the 1865 children’s classic.
