    Acclaimed New York ensemble Elevator Repair Service transforms Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises into a full theatrical production using only the novel’s words. A stage littered with wine bottles seamlessly changes from the bistros of Paris to the banks of the Irati River; a bar table roars to life and charges a champion matador; an out of control dance party takes off during a night of nonstop revelry. Festival audiences were thrilled with 2007’s Gatz, and the company’s stage interpretations of classic American novels have garnered critical praise around the world. Previous Live Arts Festival show: Gatz (2007). The Sun Also Rises, a co-production with ERS and New York Theatre Workshop, was commissioned by the Ringling International Arts Festival, John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, Sarasota, FL in association with the Baryshnikov Arts Center, New York, NY. This presentation was co-commissioned by the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival with support from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through the Philadelphia Theatre Initiative. Additional support for the development of this production granted from ArtsEmerson: the World on Stage, Boston, Massachusetts.
