Florida Tour

winter 2019

For our third tour, Agile Rascal headed to Florida, drawing inspiration from its unique landscapes and communities. We brought together a new ensemble of artists from across the country to create Good Time Pedalers' Preservation Carnival.

​

We were honored to be selected as Artists-in-Residence in Everglades National Park, where the piece was developed before touring 1,000 miles by bicycle through swamps, beaches, and sprawl, with performances in cities and towns across the state.

Good Time Pedalers' Preservation Carnival 

In the winter of 2019, Agile Rascal spent five weeks as Artists-in-Residence in Everglades National Park through the AIRIE program, creating a new work inspired by the landscape and the environmental challenges facing the Everglades.

​

Good Time Pedalers' Preservation Carnival follows a bicycle-touring theater company traveling through a post-climate-change Florida. After the death of their founder and matriarch, Nonna Harmonia, the troupe must decide whether to preserve the traditions that brought them together or reinvent themselves to meet a changing world.
