The Unexplored Places

QUERY: [[ TORUS STATION // ADEYEMI SYSTEM ]]

… RETURNING QUERY RESULTS FROM ""TL-TRU HOSPITALITY DATABASE"" …

TORUS STATION WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 2140NC, SHORTLY AFTER THE CLIMATE CRISIS ON THISTLE AND HUMANITY'S DECISION TO EXPAND INTO NEARBY STAR SYSTEMS. PRIOR TO THE INVENTION OF THE HYPERSPEED-CAPABLE DELUCCA ENGINE BY EARLY BLACKFORD & DESAI SCIENTISTS, TORUS WAS CONSIDERED A NECESSARY REST AND REFUELING STATION PRIOR TO LENGTHY INTER-SYSTEM TRAVEL.

MOST CONSIDER THE STATION TO HAVE OUTLIVED ITS PURPOSE, THOUGH CRIMINALS UTILIZE THE STATION TO LIE LOW AND SEEK OUT ILLEGAL GOODS AND FAVORS. RUN DOWN AND IN RELATIVE DISREPAIR COMPARED TO THE WELL-MAINTAINED UNION STATIONS IN THE SECTOR, TORUS IS A DANGEROUS DESTINATION AND NOT UNDER MARTINET SECURITY AND SURVEILLANCE JURISDICTION.

This week, on Tango Sector: After completing their job for the Dauntless, the crew takes some time off on Torus Station. Klaus undertakes a studious investigation. Liam picks a fight for information. Flux calls in a favor from a friend. Cash gets an unexpected visitor.

// MARTINET BROADCAST : POINT OF ORIGIN — AXON STATION : ALL POINTS BULLETIN //

MARTINET PATROLS, PLEASE BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR A NURSE-CLASS FREIGHTER LEAVING AXON FOR VIA THE ADEYEMI GATE. REGISTRATION NUMBER UNKNOWN. PATROL STATIONS WITH EYES ON THE FREIGHTER REPORT THAT IT IS "AN OLD-LOOKING PIECE OF SHIT WITH THE NAME DAUNTLESS ON THE HULL." INTENDED DESTINATION IS BELIEVED TO BE TORUS STATION. WE BELIEVE THE SHIP IS BEING ASSISTED BY NURSE-CLASS MEDICAL FREIGHTER "LANCE," REGISTRATION NUMBER— WAIT, NO, I'M GETTING REPORTS THAT WE MAY HAVE BEEN GIVEN A FALSE REGISTRATION NUMBER FOR THE NURSE-CLASS MEDICAL FREIGHTER. AXON STATION PATROL SHIPS CURRENTLY IN PURSUIT...

This week, on Tango Sector: The timer ticks down on the Dauntless's escape from Axon Station, and the likelihood of Pelagian and her crew getting out unscathed does, too. Cash fakes sick. Flux gets surrounded. Klaus talks a big game. Liam throws his back into it.

Lights. Camera. Action!

I believe it was this critic's favorite, other, critic, Anton Id, who said that "In many ways, the work of a critic is easy." Indeed, a theatre critic's work is easy when presented with a piece that is, at once, deeply daring, deeply discerning, and deeply debatable… "Spiderman: Turn Out the Dark" comes to mind, as does 2002's "Dance of the Vampires" (featuring this critic's favorite popular song, "Total Eclipse of the Heart"), and Frankie Muniz's one-man take on "Shrek: The Musical."

Catfishes: The Rock Opera is the next in this long, storied line of theatrical titans, playing now at Albacore Quay's own Grand Gargoyle. Lloyd Webb-Andrews' vision will stare deeply into your soul, begging the immortal question: "Why do I feel this way?" This critic says: this is good. This. Is art.

Keep your eyes and ears peeled for this critic's favorites: "I am More than the Sum of my Scales", an impassioned, 30-minute solo, "Are We Catfishes, or Catfish?", a thoughtful meditation on grammar, and a delightful — and lengthy — water & crotales solo in the third act.

Thank you, as always, for reading Blog's Office, authored by yours truly, Cardamom Rigby.

EDIT: "Catfishes: THE Rock Opera" has closed.

Let us rage, rage against the passing of the light.

This week on The Unexplored Places, the long-awaited finale of a group of obnoxious musical theatre adults playing a disastrous group of obnoxious musical theatre adults in this three-part Fiasco.

Catfishes!: The Rock Opera at the Gargoyle Theatre Promises to Delight, Disgust, and Despair

by Jorb Jarvis, Daily Albacore Quay Gazette

The Gargoyle Theatre, known primarily in Albacore Quay for its middle-of-the-road theatrical productions and its excellent Children's Theatre Tuesdays, is staging its riskiest venture yet: a world premiere rock opera penned by a local writer.

According to Lloyd Webb-Andrews, who wrote the shows ambitious book and score, Catfishes! is a pensive meditation on the natural lifecycle of the catfish, as well as a deep, exhaustive examination of the trouble of the human psyche in absentia of nature. The show's orchestra features local experimental percussionist St. John Holiday, known for his work with crotales in water, as well as insta-famous drummer The Sticc, and lighting design by long-time Gargoyle technician and first-time designer, Bishop St. John.

Still, I can't help but wonder if The Gargoyle would have been better served by selecting a less ambitious, or more relatable show for their first ever rock opera. Les Mis, for example, which is a reliable crowd-pleaser, would perhaps be easier for audiences to fully immerse themselves in, as the identifiable human characters might make it easier for audiences to relate to the story being told.

While judgement should likely be withheld until the show finally opens, one inside source who asked to remain anonymous let this reporter in on a secret: infighting between the orchestra and technical crew, as well as some financial issues, have led the show down a precarious path, with some involved doubting whether the show will even go up at all!

All in all, the show is slated to be the experience of a lifetime, whether for better or for worse. You heard it here, folks, from The Daily Albacore Quay Gazette: be sure to get a ticket so you don't miss your chance. It'll be a story worth telling either way.

Catfishes!: The Rock Opera opens for previews on September 17th, with opening night on the 24th. Tickets are now available from the box office, [email protected].
