Dangerous Ground presents
3!
3! is a multimedia experiment inspired by Rainer Werner Fassbinder's 1979 film The Third Generation.
Radical politics, carnival, cops, philosophy, television, guns and
terrorists... The performance features criss-crossing cameras,
televisions, live feed video, a dj and an ensemble cast of 14 actors.
Hybrid forms of performance collide and subvert reality in an attempt
to interrogate violence, freedom and civil rights,
dramatizing a disturbing world of sexual mayhem, chemical distortions,
political manipulations and the exaltation and burden of discovering
one's inability to fit into the system.
Directed by: Doris Mirescu
Performed by: Zahraa Alzubaidi, Zoe Anastassiou, Jennifer Blair-Bianco, Patrick Flynn, Gayle Greene, Zack Helwa, Anthony LaForgia, Mark Lechner, Katie McConaghy, Florin Penisoara, Joel Repman, Zehra Tas, JC Vasquez, and David White.
“I must confess that I found the exquisite parts of this singular
multimedia theatrical experiment to be most compelling. There's
fascinating work afoot in Madness of Day, and I'm not at all sorry to have had the opportunity to experience it.” Martin Denton, nytheatre.com, March 7th, 2008 about Dangerous Ground’s Madness of Day. / performed at Tom Noonan’s Paradise Factory in March 2008.
