Inspired by true events surroundingWorld War I, Captain Ferguson’s Schoolfor Balloon Warfare chronicles U.S. ArmyCaptain Thomas Ferguson’s struggle toturn canvas observational balloons intoarmed attack vehicles against KaiserWilhelm. Glorifying his purpose, hepositions his hapless crew on the frontlines where he sees both the folly of hishubris and the harsh realities of war.Captain Ferguson illuminates a periodin American history not usually viewedfrom this perspective - looking up!

A solo performance combined withoriginal video projections, historicalphotos and interactive sound design,Captain Ferguson is an absurd yetmoving ode to patriotism andmisguided genius.
