Conceived, written and directed
by Brian Jucha in collaboration with Infernal
Bridegroom Productions, Jason Nodler, Artistic Director.
Premiered December 1997 at DiverseWorks,
Houston, TX. Especially commissioned collaboration with Infernal Bridegroom
Productions as part of the DiverseDialogues series.
Jucha and IBP team up to create
an original, movement-based production inspired by the age of the cult -
from Amway to Scientology. In this chaotic journey, all that unites the
players are a sorrowful madness and a beguiling search for the truth. Jucha
draws on the early sacrificial ritual depicted in Stravinsky's Rite of
Spring for Last Rites, an entertaining attempt to make sense
of the world at the end of the millennium.
Available on video in special one-hour
promotional videotape. |
