Deep Trance Poster. Ontological-Hysteric Theater (R. Foreman) (Nov 07, 2007)

free103point9 provides live audio and video of rehearsals for the new Richard Foreman play every Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on free103point9 Online Radio. Richard Foreman's latest production uses digital material filmed in Japan and England and takes place on a stage in New York in which everything is askew -- the windows, the walls (covered with turn of the century photographs) and the furniture, which includes two pianos. Even the large screens on which images are projected are off kilter. Within this setting, the mind is asked to jump from world to world, Japan to England, filmed world to live stage world.

Plunging deeper than ever into ravishing abstract theater, Richard Foreman evokes the atmosphere of a séance, combining the tableaus filmed in Japan and England with five live New York actors who navigate a sinking grand piano.

Performances begin Thursday, January 17, 2008.
Performers: Joel Israel, Caitlin Mcdonough-Thayer, Fulya Peker, Caitlin Rucker and Sarah Dahlen.

Fridays, 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
