With original and classical music, dance and striking stage design, Oh, Those Beautiful Weimar Girls will recreate Anita Berber's life in a series of cabaret-styled performances, including much of her "repertoire of the damned." This play occurs 80 years after her tragic passing and aims, according to playwright Mark Altman, to "capture her indomitable spirit and inspire young and old alike to rage against the night."

Notes:
conceived by Ildiko Nemeth and Jessica Mitrani
Synopsis:
Some Historic/Some Hysteric visits the nexus of desire and madness. The multimedia theater piece, part-entertainment, part-exposition, uses a 19th century method for examining hysteria as the departure point of its theatrical conversation. French psychiatrist Dr. Jean-Martin Charcot uses his patients in a Parisian asylum for case studies in hysteria. Under the doctor's discretion, patients perform in his lecture/demonstration's, isolating and acting out aspects of their disease for a curious audience. Nemeth and Grossman refer to the photographic documentation of these lectures and they stretch the imagery to pull beauty from the grotesque. A stark black and white set enhances the claustrophobia of emotional distress and brief flourishes of red costume pulse through the tableaux. A woman cries from the podium of a giant high-heeled shoe as a patient gesticulates silently from a spinning bed; a parade of characters including Freud and Saint Francis of Assisi appears, larger than life on video, reacting to the performance below them.
