Notes: | part of the Ontological-Hysteric Theater's Incubator program. Commissioned by The Shalimar. | |||||
Synopsis: | Wes and Ella's "Greencard" marriage has lasted five years to date. When Ella insists on throwing a party to celebrate their successful union, Wes's unease about the relationship surfaces. The lovers separately enlist help and advice from others on how to handle their growing anxieties. This seeking of council forces both their circle of friends, and complete strangers to confront some of their greatest fears about how they choose to live and love in this modern age. The age of American Film Noir serves as an allegorical backdrop for Wes and Ella's ill-fated contemporary love story with periodic appearances from iconic figures "Femme Fatale" and "Detective." Written in response to interviews and research on the topic of immigration, Strangers employs live music and video to explore our national identity and cultural mythology. | |||||
