A new work by The Talking Band. Written and directed by Paul Zimet, composition by Peter Gordon and Ellen Maddow, video by Kit Fitzgerald

follows three generations of a family in an exploration of time, and how it shapes our lives from the smallest human instant to the massive geotectonic cycles of the earth. Following the death of her mother, Simone takes her twenty year old daughter, on a cross-country car trip to visit her parents' first home in Coney Island. The narrative shifts between the past and present, not only through the generations of Simone's family, but also through the much longer scale of geological time. Fleeting moments of human interaction - an awkward wedding, a deathbed vigil, an unlikely romance between the family doctor and an eccentric friend - cross paths with the slow, relentless time of the earth itself. Through the prism of theater, dance, video, electronic and acoustic music, time slows, stops, bends and unravels. Kit Fitzgerald's blend of live and recorded video, in conjunction with Peter Gordon's electronic, amplified music capture the range and might of the inexorable forces of nature. The intimacy of human time is captured in the live acoustic music of Ellen Maddow and the choreography of Hilary Easton.

Serial Mystery

written by Lisa D’Amour, Ellen Maddow, Lizzie Olesker and Paul Zimet. Each episode will be a self-contained theater piece that can be appreciated by itself but each will also end in a 'cliff-hanger'. The four writers are working in the tradition of Dickens’s serial novels, or television serials, but wish to combine the seductiveness of the form with the vividness, immediacy, and theatricality of live theater

The Necklace is a new serial mystery in eight episodes from The Talking Band. This description is from the press release: "The Necklace is a drama set in a grand, decaying house on the edge of a moor. It is a house of endless rooms and hidden passageways: of basements, attics, and secret stairways. A house that is antiquated but equipped with up-to the minute technology--wireless modems on moss-covered desks. In this house of multiple realities--often hidden from one another--live a group of people whose identities and relationships unfold in surprising ways in each new episode. The house is a hub, a crossroads, and a battleground in a struggle for survival between generations; between old ways of doing business and the new global economics.

written by Paul Zimet; conceived by Paul Zimet and Peter Samelson

Legendary magician Anton Radnevsky (a.k.a. The Great Radnevsky) is returning to the New York stage for the first time in over three decades to perform his one-of-a-kind, bewildering and mystifying magic. The performance is fraught with emotion and meaning for the legendary magician. Thirty three years ago, Radnevsky disappeared from the city after an audience member died at a preview performance of his much-heralded magic show, 'Stories and Sorcery'. But this October, Radnevsky will return to the scene of that tragic performance and put on an even more spectacular show, an act he has been working on for half his life. Joined by protege Harry Telkhines, Radnevsky invites audiences into a world where reality and illusion blend, and where all is not what it seems. Together, master and apprentice weave a tapestry of story and illusion, music and image, tradition and innovation, in the search for what is truly magical
