Cultivating a bizarre edu-theatre genre, New York troupe Les Freres Corbusier has explored issues from Scientology to the rise and fall of urban planner Robert Moses, packaging them with musical numbers, multimedia projections, the occasional live bunnies, and a massive helping of irony. Their upcoming Heddatron transforms Ibsen's Hedda Gabler into a world of robots. -Stephan Paschalides
How far out is too far for you? How about a play Set in a Fragment of the Collective Psyche in which catastrophe reduces a man and a woman to a primal state in which they cannot even remember their own names; they become so uncomfortable in the tattered clothing of civilization they discard it and embark on a new life, simple and primitive. A baby arrives, soon followed by interlopers, each of whom dictates how they must live and to whom they own obsequiousness. Dealing with and debunking these intruders gradually returns them to a more civilized state in which they clothe themselves, figuratively and literally….By the way, there are a lot of laughs too.
Is my play, Out There, too far out for you? If it’s within your purview I’ll be pleased to send it to you.
