“Irrepressibly charming”. Chicago Reader
“A reflection on the stories we tell young women about who they are and what they can be”. New City Chicago
This wild, smart, timely feminist romp sets the heroines from the 19th-century novels Jane Eyre, Little Women, Pride and Prejudice, and Wuthering Heights in the mythical place of Moors. When our heroines receive proposals of marriage, they decide to escape, and their rejection causes the men to wage war on the women.

On the bus, the audience is tasked with welcoming Persephone back and returning her to her mother, Demeter. Upon arrival, they are divided to partake in the rites of spring in preparation for her return. But things are not as they always are this time of year.
Merging Greek myth and rock music, exploring everything from love lost to lost children to the loss of self, RAUSCH will offer audiences a singular experience marrying the power of immersive artistry with the glory of the Colorado wilderness.
RAUSCH’s title derives from German philosophy, describing the intoxication and loss of self we feel in the face of the power of nature.
RAUSCH is a collaboration between two premier organizations in Colorado’s independent theatre scene: The Catamounts, Boulders award-winning theatre company specializing in audacious contemporary plays, and Control Group Productions, Denvers leading innovator in dance theatre and contemporary performance.
PLEASE NOTE: RAUSCH is an outdoor experience which includes up to a mile of walking uneven terrain over the course of ninety minutes. There is no conventional seating, though participants will have the opportunity to sit at intervals on non-traditional seating such as blankets and rocks.
It also begins on a bus, and participants are transported to a space separate from where their cars are parked. While the experience is not physically strenuous, please purchase tickets with these details in mind.
