Theater for the New City
From April 24 to May 10, 2015
The New Stage Theatre Company is presenting the world premiere of "Night (Thyestes 2.0)", a movement theatre piece written by Charles L. Mee with projection design and Visuals by Laia Cabrera and Isabelle Duverger. Inspired by Seneca's Thyestes, the piece combines sections of the classic tale with an equally dark modern vision. A whirlwind of vivid scenes bridges the torture, murder and cannibalism dogging ill-fated Tantalus to modern plagues both frightening and banal, from war crimes to YouTube vapidity. This world premiere performance brings a bold mix of standout projection design and visuals, choreography, costuming, lighting and sound to Mee’s rhapsodic vision, resulting in a night of wonderfully disorienting theatre.
Directed by Ildiko Nemeth in collaboration with:
Laia Cabrera and Isabelle Duverger - Visuals and Projection Design
Federico Restrepo - Lighting
Egle Paulauskaite - Costume
Galway McCullough - Fight Choreography
Jon Gilbert Leavitt - Sound Engineering
With Beth Dodye Bass*, Dana Boll, Adam Boncz, Kaylin Lee Clinton, Sofia O.C. , Catherine Correa, Geraldine Dulex, Markus Hirnigel*, Brian Linden*, Galway McCullough*, Brandon Olson*, Jeanne Lauren Smith, and Chris Tanner.
