Cloud Tectonics is Studio opener

On a fantastically rainy night in Los Angeles, the City of Angels, a plain Joe named Anibal de la Luna picks up and brings home with him a poor, bedraggled woman hitchhiker who calls herself Celestina del Sol. She is 54 years old, she says, and she has been pregnant for two years. She is indeed a rare and heavenly creature, a mystic wanderer with no sense of time and an infinite capacity to love. Alone in his little house, sealed off from the wails of the decaying city outside, De la Luna and Del Sol come together, joining their bodies and their dreams. Individual tickets for Cloud Tectonics go on sale Sept. 15.
