Appearance--A Suspense In Being

Synopsis:
Through an unfolding sequence of solo exhibits and ensemble scenes, four actresses approach acting in the way that jazz musicians approach music. the mostly non-verbal forms are dynamic and rhythmical, composed of micro-narrative fragments drawn from the actors' immediate experience. It's about velocity and perception and the enigma of human experience in a techno-spectacular culture, a world in which real-time human presence struggles to appear, to break through the limits of representation

Snow in the Living Room

Synopsis:
In Snow in the Living Room, Orietta Crispino presents a visually striking and poetically sensual distillation of the classic Snow White fairy tale. Inert in her crystal coffin, Bianca finds that her liberation will never come from a redeemer outside herself; instead, she must acknowledge her own fractured soul and accept death as a facet of what it means to be fully human. Echoing the Tibetan Book of the Dead, Snow in the Living Room exists in the interstitial space between body and self. It is a dynamic story of fear and desire, told through splintered mirror images and complex soundscapes.

Three Sisters Come And Go

Synopsis:
Three Sisters Come and Go follows the lives of the three archetypal women of Chekhov's plays read through the lens of Beckett's comic take on the existential dilEmma, and Julia Kristeva's insight regarding the transformation of despair and loss into joy and acceptance. Bound to living together, each of the sisters is comically obsessed with being the most unhappy of the group.
