Rathskeller: A Musical Elixir
Step into the world of Rathskeller: A Musical Elixir, an original musical making its West Coast premiere at the Jansen Art Center.
This powerful two-act production weaves together unforgettable music, heartfelt storytelling, and moments of humor as one man is forced to confront the choices that shaped his life. Exploring themes of addiction, forgiveness, redemption, and the enduring power of hope, Rathskeller is a deeply moving theatrical experience that reminds us our lives are shaped not only by the choices we make, but by the people who never stop believing we can change.

Jim Hodges’ “Unearthed” exhibition is a monumental bronze cast of an uprooted tree stump. The truncated form resonates with majesty while also serving as a mournful reminder of humankind’s impact upon the natural world. The sculpture is suspended in stillness, suggesting what might have been above, stretching branches that had reached into the air towards the sun that once contained life in green and barky rough wildness. With this implication, and through our interaction with the sculpture, “Unearthed” opens generative thought toward relationships between environments and their communities. The work beckons us to consider fragility, ephemerality, as well as the sacredness of life.
This work-in-becoming had its first residency in San Francisco’s Grace Cathedral in 2019. Imagine that in the confines of that edifice the sculpture absorbed metaphysical power from everyday spiritual practice, from a celebration of life observed in rites of faith, musical performances, readings, by a community’s presence, participation, and social interaction. “Unearthed” has its second residency at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at Washington State University, providing the academic and regional community an occasion to approach the work through intentional participation.
In time, its roots will be reunited with the ground through burial, transferring its accumulated goodwill charged with incorporeal memories and energies into the Earth. Only its severed trunk will remain visible, indicating a new role in nature.
