Synopsis: | The Kitchen presents the world premiere of Bellona, Destroyer of Cities, a new theater work based on Samuel R. Delany's landmark science-fiction novel Dhalgren. In Bellona, Jay Scheib combines passages from the novel with original material, movement sequences, and live video to trace several intertwining plot lines driven by a group of characters with shifting identities. Set in a city after a cataclysmic event doomed to revise its cataclysms again and again, Bellona, Destroyer of Cities draws on the labyrinthine world imagined by Delany to express the intricate and at times abstract delineations of race, gender and sexuality today. | |||||

Synopsis: | In Untitled Mars: This Title May Change, director Jay Scheib crash-lands seven performers into a simulated Martian environment. The first in a trilogy of works for live performance under the banner SimulatedCities/Simulated Systems, Untitled Mars is an international collaboration between celebrated theater ensemble Pont Muhley of Budapest and a team of research scientists phoning in their performance live via satellite from the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah. Sound fake? It's not. Untitled Mars is a mind-bending excursion into an interplanetary future defined by Scheib's signature multimedia aesthetic. Rewriting fiction with reality, Untitled Mars caps a year of collaboration with an international team of Space industry visionaries, artists, and research scientists and students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | Reeling from the reality of people living their lives inside of machines, World of Wires is Jay Scheib's new adaptation of Welt am Draht, filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder's 1973 science-fiction television series. The play is an all-bets-are-off homage to the startling possibility that you too might actually really be ones and zeroes in someone else's immaculately programmed world. World of Wires is also inspired by the works of Oxford University professor Nick Bostrom, including his compelling paper, Are You Living in a Computer Simulation? | |||||
