ARCANE GAME

October 27-30, 2011

at Incubator Arts Project

Live action PacMan with co-ed wrestling in cocktail attire. After hours tests of purported ESP. Ritualized tournament murders. In ARCANE GAME, five “players” struggle to reproduce their visions (the visions sent to them by Roxy Snodgrass) through a bizarre rite/experiment designed to find some meaning in (get some answers out of) this bleak and empty universe. Current Wooster Group company members Jamie Poskin and Matt Schloss team up with Robert Wilson collaborator Andrew Gilchrist on the debut work of the United Broadcasting Theater Company. More info »

United Broadcasting Company is in a development residency at The Performing Garage in preparation for performances at Incubator Arts Project.

THE REHEARSAL

October 12-15, 2011

In this quirky and intriguing U.S. premiere, Spanish choreographer Cuqui Jerez employs the simple process of the rehearsal, an integral component of traditional theater practice, as a starting point from which she explores and questions the witness’s reality.

The piece is created and performed by Maria Jerez, Cristina Blanco, Cuqui Jerez, Amaia Urra, and Gilles Gentnerm and directed by Jerez.

“The curtain rises and we see the fiction within the fiction within the fiction within the fiction. The curtain falls.” —Cuqui Jerez

THE REHEARSAL is co-presented with Performance Space 122 and Crossing The Line.
