| Synopsis: | The American Laboratory is a fledgling art company with special interest in blending the boundaries of the visual and performance arts. With the company's current project, the language of James Joyce provides a historical foundation for their contemporary narrative. This language is plucked from a classic novel (A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man) and dropped into the original story of three students. The project incorporates video footage of Princeton's pastoral campus and a cardboard installation exhibiting the themes of exile, escape, and exit. Through the use of video and scenic installation art, the audience is transported to Princeton University and immersed in the fragmented story of these youths: elite, New England, Ivy Leaguers incapable of speaking intimately to those they love most. At its core, The American Laboratory constructs innovative site-specific theatre for the Brooklyn art community. - nytheatre.com | |||||
