Life of Pi at Keller Auditorium

The majority of folks know the story of Life of Pi because of the movie. Director Ang Lee and his team did an incredible job adapting the source material, which comes from the novel by Yann Martel. Martel actually helped with the playwright for this show along with expert theater writer Lolita Chakrabarti. This is relevant because it means the play grasps the essence of the story, even in this different format. There are two ideas that generate the tension throughout the story. It's mainly about Pi's journey for actual survival, while trying not to lose his mind in the process. This allows the story to gravitate from his conscious to his subconscious mind. The story arch is so mind-blowing, and yet it doesn't scare people away because until you're completely emerged in the plot, you realize how dense it is.

This musical is rather new; the first-ever official performance took place in 2019. Since then, it has filled theaters throughout the UK, while also having a long stay in London's West End before heading to Broadway. It's picked up accolades from fans and esteemed theater award shows in the process. Life of Pi is coming to the Keller Auditorium in Portland, Oregon as a way to get more people to see the story. Since it's not a production that's been around for years on end, there's a good chance that you've never been at a theater to see it. If you come out on this Wednesday 9th April 2025, you're going to be in for quite a few surprises. It's not only a story that pushes you to reflect on what you'll witness on stage. The puppet design can't compare to anything that Broadway had seen before. Another essential part of the show is the lighting and the stage design; everything works together to create a memorable story.

Since both the performers and the scenery are essential to the plot of the story, finding the right seat to take it all in is key to the entire experience. Being too close to the stage on this Wednesday night may backfire on you. Looking into elevated seating options or places in the middle or back rows could be ideal.
