In the Common Hour
April 19 - May 4
Concept and Direction by Ildiko Nemeth Original Text by Marie Glancy O'Shea This multimedia performance piece was created in collaboration with performers.“The New Stage Theatre Company becomes a vortex of time, space, and emotions.”
By Roberta Pikser, New York Theatre Wire
In a Route 66 motel a group of travelers gather at nightfall, each haunted by phantoms, each seeking to tell their tale. This original multimedia performance piece draws us in to powerful narratives that evoke fairy tales, old westerns, financial scandals, and biker gangs. They unfold across territories of the real, the imaginary, and the magical, touching on shared themes of memory, longing, power, and self-determination.
