FIGHT
GIRL BATTLE WORLD
In March
of 2008, Vampire Cowboys unleashed one of its most crowd-pleasing
and critically acclaimed shows to date, the sci-fi spectacular FIGHT
GIRL BATTLE WORLD written by Qui Nguyen and directed by Robert Ross
Parker. Playing to sold-out crowds and standing ovations, the show
utilized Vampire Cowboys' award-winning blend
of stage combat, puppetry, and multi-media to create a uniquely cinematic
experience for the live stage.
Star Wars: A New Hope meets Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
in the action-packed space odyssey, FIGHT GIRL BATTLE WORLD! Set in
a futuristic universe where the human race is on the brink of extinction,
"FIGHT GIRL" is the story of E-V, the last human female
in all the known galaxies, and her quest to find the last human male
before he is destroyed by alien forces. Accompanying her is a rag-tag
team composing of an ex-military General, an alien spaceship pilot,
and an overly sarcastic robot sidekick.
