In conjunction with the opening of Swim Pony Performing Arts' new show at the Wolf Building, Survive!, we're giving away a pair of tix. But first, here's what Emily Currier had to say about the premiÃ¨re in this week's City Paper:

"The show is the universe's message to humanity," explains Adrienne Mackey, director of brand-new theater company Swim Pony Performing Arts and its inaugural show. The sprawling, 20,000-square-foot basement of Chinatown's Wolf Building will morph into the expanding universe, allowing audience members to venture boldly through the set and various otherworldly narratives. Part-performance, part-installation, Survive! explores different dimensions of the universe through the guises of quirky characters such as Kinetic Girl and Gentle Scientist. "The journey of the show," says Mackey, "is really about the audience understanding themselves in relation to all that space."

To win a pair of tickets to any show (except Friday or Saturday evenings) through June 20, answer me this:

Swim Pony was formed by a group of artists who performed what show during 2009's Philly Fringe?

E-mail your answers to carolyn.huckabay@citypaper.net for a chance to win. First reader with the right answer will be contacted for further details on ticket pickup.

Survive! runs through June 20, $11-$20, Underground Arts at the Wolf Building, 340 N. 12th St., 847-309-1266, swimpony.org.

[UPDATE: 11:45 a.m.]: Congratulations to CritMass reader Joseph, who correctly answered that Purr, Pull, Reign: A Litigious Fantasy in D was the show in question. Thanks to everyone who played!
