'Seven Limbs' By Douglas J. Cuomo

Featuring guitarist Nels Cline (Wilco) & the Grammy-nominated Aizuri Quartet

Seven Limbs is a newly composed, virtuosic tour de force for string quartet and guitar by composer Douglas J. Cuomo, shot through with melodic beauty and rhythmic urgency, celebration and serenity, solemnity, and unbridled joy. Juxtaposing the wildly inventive guitar playing of Nels Cline - lead guitar for the acclaimed indie band Wilco - with the Aizuri Quartet’s classically-based, forward-thinking musical outlook, Seven Limbs sets these five expert musicians in a landscape that is slightly unfamiliar - where the ground under their feet is always shifting in unexpected ways.Read more

The Catastrophic Theatre

HERZSTÜCK

written & directed by Greg Dean

A pair of clownish musicians attempt to perform a duet for violin and piano, but a series of interruptions and distractions leads to gruesome complications, and hilarity ensues in this bleak meditation on the futility of love and all other human endeavors. Inspired by a 14-line theatrical fragment by the late East German playwright, Heiner Müller, HERZSTÜCK is a deconstruction of old, b&w silent film comedies — think Laurel & Hardy meets David Cronenberg. Read more

Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune

Written by Terrance McNally, Directed by Curtis Barber

What begins as a one-night stand between Frankie, an over-worked, over-tired waitress and Johnny, a short order cook at the same diner, evolves into an honest and sometimes humorous evaluation of the traps of companionship, the pain of unrealized dreams, and the fear of true intimacy. When Johnny refuses to leave post-tryst, Frankie finds herself confronting feelings she would rather avoid, while exposing Johnny’s gusto as a guise masking his own insecurities. Against the backdrop of a New York City sunrise and a soundtrack of the most beautiful music ever written, the couple tramples into new territory of common ground and possibilities.Read more
