In association with Adhesive Theater Project
The Brick Theater, Inc. presents
I, Object!
Adhesive Performance:  I, Object!
at The Film Festival: A Theater Festival
 
I, Object! was created collaboratively by Cory Einbinder, Kalle Macrides, and Jared Mezzocchi with support from Linsey Bostwick and Juliana Cope.
 
Featuring:
    Cory Einbinder, Kalle Macrides, & Jared Mezzocchi
 
Description:
    
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?
 
Three performances!
          Saturday, June 14th, 2008 at 9 pm,
          Sunday, June 15th, 2008 at 2:30 pm, and
          Thursday, June 19th, 2008 at 10 pm

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.

BIOGRAPHIES and HEADSHOTS
 
Description:
    
Chantecler, by Edmond Rostand, author of Cyrano de Bergerac is an animal allegory about a rooster who believes that his song makes the sun rise.  Adhesive Theater Project's production investigated the themes of inspiration, finding our place in society, and overcoming our greatest doubts and fears.

With our resident composer's 3 piece band performing an original score, 2 visual artists drawing the world of the play as it transpired, and 10 actors playing over 100 characters using puppets, masks, and physical theater, Adhesive Theater Project broke new ground in the theater by offering a uniquely live experience for the whole family.

Director Cory Einbinder returned to this play 10 years after his critically acclaimed first production, hailed as:
 
"gorgeously imaginative staging... artistic triumph of the year... Cory Einbinder has reached into an enormous bag of tricks to give this production an almost non-stop sense of whimsy." -- Citipaper
 
"Imagination abounds... Einbinder has to be commended on his witty, atmospheric production." -- Philadelphia Weekly
 
"amazingly powerful... Cory Einbinder directs with imagination... deserves to be seen by a much larger audience." -- Hats Off


Not seen in New York since it's original Broadway production in 1911, this fresh translation brought back the poetry and vitality of the original French.  We celebrated the year of the rooster with this king of the barnyard - Chantecler.
