Husbands

Synopsis:
The original film, made in 1970, describes three middle class men in the throes of a midlife crisis. Director Doris Mirescu sums up the work with, "They laugh. They cannot cry. The pain is hidden deep inside. It's intimate. It is in the heart, in the silence of empty hallways when they look at each other and cannot say. Life happens. They fall. They stand back up. They run. They drink. They smoke. The toys are lying around. It is raining outside."

Its Too Late

Synopsis:
Dangerous Ground presents It's Too Late, a multimedia site-specific art installation dedicated to Jean Eustache's 1973 film The Mother and The Whore set in a converted storefront in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Raw and unsentimental, the quest for love reveals the collapse of human ideals as characters face irresolution and a sense of profound desolation. Alexander, Marie, and Veronika are caught in meaningless rituals that long for true intimacy. The need for human connection permeates the world and hyper-reality shows what is at play: in the underlying emptiness, the struggle to come to terms with profound change, cultural alienation and devastating pain.

John Cassavetes' Husbands

Synopsis:
Based on John Cassavetes' 1970s film, Husbands depicts three men shaken up by the death of their friend and by their own imminent approach into middle age. They enter a freefall into emptiness and unrest in a four-day bender that follows the funeral. Anarchic and raw, the production is a surprisingly intimate exploration of the mysteries of friendship and masculinity.

Last Tango in Paris

Synopsis:
drop by drop sorrow, loneliness, and despair pass through the dark empty room where flesh bleeds, sex exudes beauty, and sweat and ghosts of the past wander through images of distorted bodies. Many will recall the Marlon Brando film version. This adaptation captures much of the core of that movie's very abyss, in stunning portrayals by startling and courageous young actors, surrounded by live cameras, creating a sexual tragedy haunted by sounds of lost tangos and the shadow of myths

Madness Of Day

Synopsis:
Chaos is a constant threat in Madness of Day, a piece for one actor, live video-feed and live sound, based on a text by French writer Maurice Blanchot. In a room menaced by its own hyper normality, a man is exposed to the terror of erosion and disappearance. At the heart of his confrontation with the eye-shattering lights of reason and unreason, are echoes of the current US meta-political climate in a text that deals (perhaps!) with war, torture, totalitarianism, and collective amnesia, and whose secret historical backdrop is shot through with memories of Vichy and the Algerian War. Multiple cameras constellate the space; the audience is cast as potential captor /judge /voyeur /intruder amid walls gleaming with images at play of what seems to be the architecture of an unbearable loneliness and disorientation.
