Dark Heart Of Meteorology, The
Synopsis:
Franklin elijah White is traveling across the country on an increasingly quixotic and personal journey. aided only by a slide projector and assorted meteorological equipment, he has a simple message: the weather is going to kill us all. every single one of us. amid concerns about global warming and an uncertain future, the assembly presents a one-man show about natural disasters, large and small. the Dark Heart of Meteorology, created by the assembly, is a series of barely-multimedia presentations-part lecture/slideshow, part happening-by lonely traveling weatherman Franklin elijah White. Featuring a tour-de-force performance by performer Richard Lovejoy, the Dark Heart of Meteorology combines live performance, video, and the lost art of the slideshow to investigate the tensions between chaos and control and the intersection of the personal and the meteorological."
