Liriope
Infinite Spark Theater Company is proud to announce our latest initiative in community-building and creative engagement:
THE LIRIOPE LABORATORY
The Liriope Laboratory is named after the Liriope Stipend, a memorial fund created in honor of the artistry and inspiration of master-teacher and theater-maker Ulla Wolcz, by her husband Niky Wolcz.
As inspired by their generous artistry, we launch this laboratory dedicated to the development of new and adapted works of experimental, artist-centered, body-based, and stylistically adventurous theater.
The Liriope Laboratory will serve as an incubator for Infinite Spark’s rolling slate of original projects, as well as a format for members of the community to develop their own original, experimental work in collaboration with Infinite Spark, and which may be presented under Infinite Spark’s banner.
THE LIRIOPE LABORATORY WILL LAUNCH IN EARLY 2026.
IF YOU’D LIKE TO HEAR FROM US WHEN WE’RE ABOUT TO LAUNCH, CONTACT US
OR AT THE EMAIL ADDRESS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE. WE’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU. STAY TUNED!

Liriope was the mother of Narcissus.
Worried about the future welfare of her child,
she asked Teiresias, the blind seer, about it.
His answer seems to be a paradox.
He alluded that Narcissus will have an accomplished life
if he does not fall prey to the fallacy of having recognized himself,
‘si se non noverit’
So the most important question for an actor might not only be:
who am I? but as well: who is this Other, this ‘allon’?
