Adhesive Theater Project selected as Resident Company
of the New York City College of Technology
A co-production with Laura Peterson Choreography
To be presented in its
Voorhees Theatre:
In the moment before his untimely demise, a Hollywood
filmmaker perseveres to uncover the identity of his soon to be murderer.
NOIR is a deconstruction of the film noir aesthetic told through movement,
images, live music, and heightened language. Functioning as a modern morality
play, this genre explores the conflict of individuals grappling with their humanity
within a violent urban landscape. Our storytelling translates a cinematic
movement score for the stage, availing itself of the filmmaker's techniques for manipulating time and image — while
maneuvering through a real world of femmes fatales and kneecap busters.
NOIR takes place in a cinematic landscape created with the aid of 24 frames
metaphorically representing one second of film, or the moment
it takes for a life to end. You better not blink!

NOIR follows the tale of a Hollywood
filmmaker bent on uncovering the identity of his soon to be murderer in the
moments before his untimely demise.
This reading of NOIR is being presented by
Theatreworks as part of their newly established The Art of Spoken Words series, curated by
Kalle Macrides.
It is very likely that I, Object!* is a story about three obsessive individuals and the objects
they keep. However, it may be that it's actually a story about objects and the people
they keep. Whichever perspective you take, I, Object!* unleashes the power of our everyday belongings
and asks the question, if we can't get rid of our possessions, who is really the possessed?

This world premiere will blend Rock, Tango, Jazz and Punk music with
contemporary dance to re-imagine Karel Čapek's original 1921 classic,
R.U.R (Rossum's Universal Robots). Čapek's play that started
it all, introducing the word ROBOT into the world's lexicon and into our
fantasies, is reexamined for the 21st Century.
