Wooster Group's LA DIDONE begins next week!

The always-amazing Wooster Group brings La Didone to St. Ann's Warehouse for a six-week run. Baroque opera meets 1960's Sci-Fi as only the Wooster Group can do it!

The Wooster Group stirs these two Italian cultural artifacts together, dropping Aeneas' ships onto a forbidding planetary landscape, setting the lute alongside live electric guitar, blending acoustic and electronic space, and finding an unexpected synergy between early baroque opera and pre-moon landing sci-fi: A 21st-century retelling of an ancient tale about the destructive (and redemptive) power of erotic passion and the sheer tenacity of human nature in the face of annihilation.

Itamar Moses' LOVE/STORIES extends 3 weeks!

The Flea Theater has extended Itamar Moses' Love/Stories (or But You Will Get Used To It) after receiving pretty much universal raves. Love/Stories is a collection of five short plays by one of the hottest young playwrights currently writing.

A casting session for a play about a love affair goes awry. A talk-back with a theatre audience becomes the occasion for a life-altering choice. A couple moving in together finds that greater intimacy can have surprising results. Nothing is what it seems in these five funny and poignant short plays.

The Flea Theater presents
LOVE/STORIES (OR BUT YOU WILL GET USED TO IT)
Now through March 30.
Performance times vary.

The Flea
41 White Street
(Between Church and Broadway)

SOS

Caden Manson / Big Art Group

Temps de Images Festival - Montreal, CA
February 24-27, 2009

The Kitchen - NYC

REDCAT Los Angels
April 8 - 12, 2009

Yerba Buena Center for the Arts - San Francisco
April 23-25, 2009

The always-provocative New York ensemble has won an international reputation for pushing the limits of performance and video art by lacing its original hall-of-mirrors multimedia stagecraft with flurries of livewire choreographed action. Its latest opus, SOS, jumps off from the primal themes of The Rite of Spring to stage their own contemporary rite of rebirth through a panoptic live video installation. Everyday rituals of renewal are abstracted and refracted in video, morphed into metaphors of war and environmental degradation--and set into a mediated celebration of sustainability, survivalism, immolation and revolution.
