Synopsis: | follows generational cycles of immigrant waves through the centuries, during which a tenement "village" rises out of the tidal marsh just north of New Amsterdam. Native Americans who find food and refuge in the swamp are displaced (or worse) by Dutch settlers, whose farms are swallowed in turn by shipyards, ironworks, tobacco factories, sweatshops, and tenements. Newcomers escaping the nightmares of pogroms, famine, and war bring their dreams to this slice of the New World, another frontier village that in its own time is burned and ripped apart by cultural conflict. | |||||

Synopsis: | With Mr. M, Czechoslovak-American Marionette Theatre performs the first American stage adaptation of Mr. Theodore Mundstock, a story of the triumph of the human spirit by Ladislav Fuks, a postwar Czech writer of psychological fiction who achieved instant fame with that book, his debut novel. The drama is the latest in the company's "zivacek" plays, in which the cast is visible to the audience whether performing with or without puppets. The story is set in 1942 Prague. Germans occupy the country, and Jews await the dreaded summons to the concentration camps. Mr. M is an ordinary man trying to prepare for an unimaginable fate. Each day his panic mounts, goading him to the brink of insanity. To calm himself, he resolves to prepare carefully, simulating the camp environment in his tiny apartment, learning to sleep on a wooden board, hardening his mind against insults and strengthening his muscles against hard labor. The preparations bring on a sudden calm and with pride, almost joy in anticipation, he dedicates himself to helping his friends who might share the same fate. Where there is humor in the play, it's "Terezin humor," an expression connoting the dark humor that Czech Jews adopted in their cabaret at Theresienstadt concentration camp. | |||||

Synopsis: | This show, a collaboration between Agentural Dell'Arte/Prague and The Czechoslovak-American Marionette Theatre/NYC, is described as a spectacle with puppetry and circus arts that examines revolutions throughout history as a backdrop for the extraordinary peaceful 1989 Velvet Revolution in former Czechoslovakia. The piece will be performed in the tradition of Central European medieval street and traveling circus shows, using puppetry, object theater, and circus arts. Czech and Czech-American theater artists will collaborate to offer their particular perspectives on the Velvet Revolution of 1989 and an overview of the very notion of revolution. Characters, live and puppets, will include Prometheus, Jesus, Jan Hus, Jean Paul Marat, and the "Cleaning Lady" who repeatedly mops up bodies and rubble. | |||||

Synopsis: | In this Object Theatre-style production, Czechoslovak-American Marionette Theater (CAMT) will explore the myths surrounding the Rosenbergs' purported betrayal of the atomic bomb secret to the Soviet Union. The play will show the whole first half of the 20th century, from the immigration of Ethel's and Julius' parents at the beginning of the century to the Great Depression and World War II, two monumental historic events that were both formative for the Rosenbergs. The three main stories will interweave the radical transformation of both main protagonists: Ethel, who dreams of Broadway stardom, and Julius, who studies the Scriptures fervently and 'takes them literally', both becoming firm believers into Communist dogma, a transformation that will eventually cost them their lives. The manipulative art form of Object Theater has always been a component of this troupe's work, but it takes center stage in this production. The design by Tom Lee will use found objects as its main component. The idea is for found objects to be used symbolically as a proxy for characters and settings in the play. So a bed frame doubles as a lectern and a pulpit; office chairs double as electric chairs. The basic design unit is a series of constantly moving windows, each of which becomes a stage framing the actions. This experiment in perspective is actually not so far removed from marionette theater, in which the puppet stage is similar to a small window. | |||||
