An elderly woman enters a Manhattan subway station only to find herself sitting on a bench beside an elderly man of roughly the same age. As they sit and wait for their train in silence, two complete strangers on a bench, what the audience soon learns that they themselves don't know, is that they once shared the happiest day of their lives, playing together as children. Yet it's now too far back for them to remember anymore, too far back for them to recognize each other anymore. The story then shifts back and forth between the breathtaking landscape of their unconscious', as Isabel Lucas and Oliver Ackland play more youthful representations of how they see themselves inside, and search for the memory they once shared.

Synecdoche, New York

Oct 24, 2008
Caden Cotard, metteur en scène de théâtre, est en train de monter une nouvelle pièce. Mais travailler pour un public de petits vieux dans un obscur théâtre d’une banlieue de New York lui paraît bien terne. Il est de plus miné par des problèmes familiaux et relationnels et rongé par une mystérieuse maladie qui s’attaque à son système nerveux. Pressé par la peur de mourir prématurément, Caden décide alors de tout quitter. Aspirant à créer une œuvre d’une intégrité absolue, il rassemble quelques comédiens dans un entrepôt de New York. Il les met en scène dans une célébration de l’ordinaire, demandant à chacun de vivre une vie artificielle dans une maquette de la ville.

My America

Jul 04, 2014
21 monologues written by American playwrights form a sort of fractured portrait of the American collective psyche. Ranging from the sad to the hilarious, from the angry to the tentatively celebratory, many of the major and recurrent issues associated with our fraught but beloved union are reconsidered with elegance, wit, brutal honesty, and a little outright insanity.
