         (Un)Afraid         Laika Dog In Space

(Un)Afraid

Synopsis:
the New York Neo-Futurists' Fall 2010 horror show and fear experiment, (un)afraid, celebrates and examines the concept, causes, and consequences of fear, both in our society and in ourselves. attempting to summon a different guest spirit each performance, from such deceased masters of horror as edgar allen Poe, HP Lovecraft, Mary Shelley, M.R, and James, the New York Neo-Futurists call upon the forces of chance and change to present a different show every night, putting expectations on shaky ground and melding our mythical fear of what goes bump in the night with the terror of simply living. Combining elements of personal ghost story, video assault, monster-mash-mayhem, and audience-interactive freak-out, Neo-Futurists Jill Beckman, Cara Francis, Daniel McCoy , and Ricardo Gamboa will usher you beyond the very edge of their, and your, most startling, gruesome, and diabolical fears.

Laika Dog In Space

Synopsis:
Laika Dog In Space is a Neo-Futurist play with music that asks: what if Laika, a little dog launched into space by a bunch of Russian scientists with big ambitions, hadn't died but instead had somehow continued to live in space? What would she be like? Who would she meet? What would she do with all of her free time? and what does she have to do with us? the show's writers drew surprisingly unlikely inspiration for the piece largely from the famed French children's storythe Little Prince,the 1960s cult television show the Prisoner, and the art and sculptures of alexander Calder.
