Based on Kenji MiyazawaÂ’s famous story for children, Restaurant is an accessible yet profound dance theater. The three performers execute unique and superb movements rooted in traditional and contemporary Japanese and other Asian physical expressions with dexterity. Often comedic, sometimes serious, they eloquently represent the elements of and relationship between humans, animals and nature.

Pan Pan Theatre (Republic of Ireland)
The Seagull and Other Birds
Thursday May 26 8:00pm
Friday May 27 7:00pm
Saturday May 28 7:00pm
Duration: 80 minutes, no intermission

The Seagull and Other Birds is a roller coaster reimagining of Anton Chekhov's much-loved comic masterpiece. The performance centres around a concise new version of The Seagull integrated with a number of works specially commissioned by the company. Through the wormhole of the new work, Chekhov’s characters find themselves in extraordinarily different contexts: classic plays, TV shows, YouTube and stuff they’ve just made up. The result is playful and uncompromising – expect lots of talk about art, some action, and tons of love.

Touretteshero (UK)
Backstage in Biscuit Land
Thursday June 2 8:30pm
Saturday June 4 4:00pm
Sunday June 5 7:00pm
Duration: 60 minutes, no intermission

Southside Theater
Tickets: General Admission
$20 in advance, $25 at door
https://fortmason.org/box-office/

All Touretteshero's performances are relaxed. This means youÂ’re welcome to make noise during the show. This adds a whole new dimension, which is why Touretteshero calls it 'Extra LiveÂ’.

Jess Thom has Tourette’s syndrome, a condition that makes her say ‘biscuit’ 16,000 times a day. Her unusual neurology gives her a unique perspective on life; one she's about to share with the world. Accompanied by her assistant Chopin, Jess weaves comedy, puppetry, singing, and incredible tics to explore spontaneity, creativity, disability, and things you never knew could make you laugh.

Languge warning: Jess is one of the 10% of people with Tourettes Syndrome who has swearing tics, so this performance may include the involuntary use of words that some audiences may find offensive.
