Aside from the decades-long exploration of 30 plays in 60 minutes with Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind, the Neo-Futurists also program a series of prime-time productions and have announced their latest lineup for the upcoming season. Of course, TMLMTBGB continues its ongoing run this whole time as the Neo-Futurists celebrate the 834th anniversary of that sacred institution.Here are the details on the new season, straight from a news release:
Fear
Created and curated by Noelle Krimm
September 24 – October 31, 2009
Opening Night: Saturday, September 26
Using their unique location above a funeral home to its full potential, the Neo-Futurists raise your blood pressure as they move you through terrifying literary-themed exhibits. Fear goes beyond typical haunted house methods to enter the deep, dark corners of your mind through the timeless works of Edgar Allen Poe. This Halloween event hits nerves of paranoia, dread and the macabre, discussing the anticipation and certainty of death.
Noelle Krimm has been a Neo-Futurist ensemble member since 1999 and this the third prime time show she has created. Her first was the musical, City Girl! in 2002 and then the neighborhood walking-tour production of Alice in 2004. In addition to writing and performing Too Much Light..., Noelle has performed in many Neo-Futurist prime time shows including Devolution, Missing Parts, and Poker Night at the White House. As a writer/performer, Noelle was in SEX! and Inside My Mouth.
I Am A Camera
Conceived and directed by Greg Allen
February 4 – March 13, 2010
Opening Night: Saturday, February 6
As a picture says a thousand words, this production tells a thousand stories and inspires a thousand ideas. Greg Allen taps his roots as a darkroom photographer with this inventive homage to the photo. A photography centered experiment with themes of vision, objectivity and identity, this physical history of photography and cinema uses active imagery to discuss how how we frame the world and ourselves.
Greg Allen is the Founding Director and award-winning creator of over 25 productions for The Neo-Futurists, including Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind, Fluxus, The Last Two Minutes of the Complete Works of Henrik Ibsen, Boxing Joseph Cornell, H2O, evidence, and K.
