Treasure hunt for Colorado myths and legends.
LuneAseas first envisioned Grim Mountain Legends in August 2021 as a show set around a campfire, a place where shadows already lurk and where the collective’s shadow puppetry, theater and dance easily enhance the drama of old tales. But after the initial series was done
The group sought out venues in historical buildings and planned its shows around the concept of treasure hunting. “We wanted to reactivate historic buildings, and also give not just the buildings, but venues that had been shut down from the pandemic new life,” says Leah Casper, executive director of LuneAseas.
All of the legends are based on historic stories that often blend fact and fiction. Working with myth allows both creative leeway and the chance to share some lesser-known stories from Colorado’s past. “It’s more interesting to an audience and to us to research people who were defiled and mystified and find the reality behind those stories,” explains Casper.
Grim Mountain Legends also sends the audience on a treasure hunt to decode letters that give clues to the name of one historical Colorado figure. Depending on the venue, the audience might be guided to treasure sites in the building or asked to sit during the performance and stumble upon the treasures by surprise.
