A friend of mine is the managing director of a theatre company in New York City called Temporary Distoration. This company is bringing their highly acclaimed show, Welcome to Nowhere (bullet hole road) to the EXIT Festival in Creteil April 1 - 5."NY Theatre" reviewed the show and said:
A captivating, hypnotic, and mesmerizing work of art, easily one of the best plays I've seen this year....I've never seen anything like this on the stage. Sure, I've seen plays that utilize non-linear storytelling, mixed- and multi-media. I've also seen works that act more as installation pieces than conventional "plays" before. But I've never seen something that employs all these methods that is so compelling, so haunting, so thoroughly absorbing. I loved this show. - nytheatre.com
ABOUT THE SHOW:
Part road movie, part fractured memory, part love story...Welcome to Nowhere (bullet hole road) is a hybrid of theater and cinema. During the performance, a constant stream of video is projected above the cast. In scenes of prolonged stillness, silence and impassivity, doppelgangers of the characters we meet onstage navigate a hyper-real cinematic landscape as if lost in a dream, creating parallel narratives that echo, reflect and refract each moment of the play.
A daring performance about memory and identity. Welcome to Nowhere captures beautifully the psychic haziness it takes on as a major theme. - Village Voice
The video sequences in Welcome to Nowhere are so beautifully shot they put most major films to shame. - Off Off Blogway
