Arthur in Underland was based on a script by Mantra Plonsey, working from stories of Director Eric Kupers’ teenage adventures through the underbelly of sexual and spiritual explorations with a cult-like, warehouse rock band. Created collaboratively and performed by Bandelion. Co-produced by CounterPULSE in March of 2012.

Video excerpts are edited by Eric Kupers, with footage by RAPT Productions. Photos are by Faye Chao and Chris Gallegos.
