Rus(h)

Synopsis:
HERE Arts Center presents a new workshop production of RUS, a new multimedia work by James Scruggs. It is described as "an intimate multimedia psychosexual murder mystery. Lost in a labyrinth of repeating memories, and trapped in a failing marriage, Rus, an African American man, yearns to feel something new, full and real. But when a car accident connects Rus to Sonny, a gay hustler, he descends into a world of sex, drugs, and violence, inevitably leading him down the path to destruction. When Sonny turns up dead, Rus becomes the prime target of a police investigation. . .but is he a murderer? Using innovative technology, including movement projections and experimental 'video puppets,' RUS draws audiences into a seemingly surreal underworld without the use of sets or props. With salsa and tango-inspired movement and original music, RUS recereates the seedy reality that lies just beneath our everyday lives. Told through a non-linear story structure, fragmented memories piece together the stories of characters that have grown numb and are willing to go to extremes to feel again."

Tickets To Manhood

Synopsis:
What makes a man a man? Is every adult male a man? Religion, imprisonment, gang violence, marriage, and military service shape the perspectives of adult males reflecting on their rites of passage. Tickets To Manhood examines the choices that boys make maturing into men. There is no formal rite of passage for boys entering adulthood in America today; the men of Tickets made choices that greatly affected the kind of adults that they eventually became. In many neighborhoods, prison and gangs involvement are viable options, and are sometimes seen as choices equivalent to more socially acceptable ones. The men of Tickets don't apologize for their choices, they in fact explore them in great detail. A marine who returns from war a trained killer asks himself, who is he now? All the men ponder what made them a man, when that occurred and what kind of man they are currently.
