 Invincible City         Sacrificial Offerings

Invincible City

Synopsis:
In Invincible City, the world is ending, time zone by time zone. a group of wealthy tourists, able to jump across the stratosphere from city to city, apparently at will, are staying just ahead of the death and destruction, trying to ignore it and have one last party before the end comes. But they cannot escape their own fears nor the resentment of the citizens of the cities they have plundered for so long as they move from Rome to Madrid to eventually . . . Detroit? Time's up gentlemen.

Sacrificial Offerings

Synopsis:
David Finkelstein has spent over 20 years creating improvisation-based theatre with his Lake Ivan Performance Group, most recently moving into creating original video artworks that begin as videotaped improvised duets between him and other performers, which then are overlaid with a complex interweaving of abstract and literal imagery, text, and original music. after creating several improvs with Ian W. Hill, and deciding on one to transform into a video piece, he has suggested that Hill take the text from his video and re-interpret it as a stage work, and then combine both pieces as a double bill. So Hill has indeed created Sacrificial Offerings, a dramaticule in which a group of eight actors perform the originally improvised text as a play about a group of wealthy layabouts of several decades past gathering for a seance, amid arguments and backbiting. a version of Finkelstein's video piece of the same text as originally improvised by him and Hill (known as Skewered Remarks) is shown as an interlude from another world midway through the stage adaptation.Sacrificial Offerings is a small, contained experiment with improvisation, interpretation, repetition, the mixing of prerecorded video and live performance, and ideas of what exactly constitutes a play
