'Solastalgic Archive'
Presented by Ent Center for the Arts at Ent Center for the Arts Colorado Springs, CO
Conceived by artist Nina Elder, the Solastalgic Archive holds materials that contextualize and give breadth to the experience of living and making in this time of accelerated change. The evolving archive of objects, images, and conceptual actions collects ephemera of memory, creation, forgetting, destruction, preciousness and transience offered by contributors. It is an evolving, changing, temporal entity that will continue to grow as it is enriched by additions connected to each host venue. Beginning in 2019 with more than 40 artists, and continuing to grow throughout it’s many showings, Elder invites fellow climate conscious artists, scholars and public intellectuals, as well as farmers, spiritual practitioners, indigenous leaders, and activists to contribute something that represents the “solastalgic”. Much like the practicalities of a traditional time capsule, each submission has had only one physical requirement: it must fit in a medium flat rate USPS postal box; boxes in which the exhibition’s objects continue to be carefully stored and moved from venue to venue. The Solastalgic Archive holds contributions from a vast array of people, each asked to consider what connects them to the passage time. Unlike other museum collections, the Solastalgic Archive holds deeply personal items as well as things that change or disappear over time. Harnessing solastalgia as the archives’ organizing principle, the collections exemplify transformation rather than permanence, fleeting relationships rather than immutable. By allowing emotions and ephemerality to displace institutional indifference and contrived eternities, this space enlivens the passage of time. Installed in GOCA’s Project Space, the Solastalgic Archive will evolve over the course of the exhibition…

'The Children' by Lucy Kirkwood
Presented by Springs Ensemble Theatre at Springs Ensemble Theatre Colorado Springs, CO
The Children centers on Hazel and Robin, a retired nuclear scientist couple attempting a quiet post-disaster existence in a remote coastal cottage following a meltdown at a nearby power station. The sudden appearance of Rose, a former colleague, disrupts their controlled routine. Her visit compels the couple to confront their professional past, personal legacy, and the moral calculus of responsibility toward the world they leave behind. The intense, three-person play offers a stark meditation on aging, duty, and environmental accountability. Madalyn Rilling, SET Board Member and Director of the production, notes, "The Children" poses essential questions about our debt to the future and one another. Kirkwood's script is deeply moving and undeniably relevant. This piece highlights the strength of intimate, character-focused storytelling, and we are excited to present this work to the Colorado Springs community." The production features a cast of experienced actors: Hazel: Dinah Mann Robin: Stephen Alan Carver Rose: Amaya Egusquiza This calendar listing is brought to you by Peak Radar, the Pikes Peak region's one-stop, online website for arts and entertainment events, powered by the Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region.

'Where We Stand'
Presented by Ent Center for the Arts at Ent Center for the Arts Colorado Springs, CO
Written by Donnetta Lavinia Grays and Directed by Marisa Hébert. A stranger stands before us with a story—and a deal. In Where We Stand, a poetic and electrifying one-person play, a lonely soul makes a choice that could change everything. Part fable, part confession, and part communal reckoning, this contemporary tale invites the audience to step into the storyteller’s shoes and cast a vote of their own. Directed by Marisa Hébert (Flyin’ West, Every Brilliant Thing), this spellbinding modern parable explores the consequences of mercy, the cost of belonging, and the ties that bind us together. Making its Colorado debut, Where We Stand is a haunting journey into the heart of human connection. UCCS students are always free. Contact the box office in person or by phone with your student ID to reserve seats. This production contains themes of isolation, metaphysical bargaining, and moral ambiguity. If you have questions about the material or wish to read a copy of the work in advance, please email theatreworks@uccs.edu.
