PARACHUTES & PAPER PLANES

Directed by Pierre Marais
Concept & Choreography by Matthew Couvillon
Produced by Abingdon Theatre Company, Matthew Couvillon & Chad Austin
Starring Cory Betts & Carlos Felú

In the midst of World War II, a parachute rigger and a fighter pilot’s forbidden connection deepens amongst the rigid structure of military life and the turmoil of war. Unfolding through sweeping choreography and the ever-present tension between duty and desire, they must find quiet moments of intimacy bounded by the chaos.
