Thursday, September 27th, 2012Catch Oded’s Work Downtown!
Thursday, September 27th, 2012If you missed Oded Hirsch’s critically-acclaimed short films this spring, you have another chance! ‘TELEGRAMS ON THE TABLE: An Interrupted Allegory + Picaresque Adventure,’ curated and produced by Cheryl Kaplan, will feature Oded’s work alongside shorts by dozens of international artists, filmmakers, philosophers, choreographers, and composers, in a fresco based on Fellini’s ‘La Dolce Vita.’
As Pasolini wrote: “There is not one significant communication in La Dolce Vita which is presented purely functionally; it is always excessive, overcharged, lyrical, magical or too violently veristic. That is to say it is semantically amplified…” As Curator/Producer Cheryl Kaplan has stated: “One of the aims of TELEGRAMS ON THE TABLE is to semantically amplify Fellini.”

Blood Play in Bushwick
Thursday, September 6th, 2012Hannah Bos’ Six Points Project, Blood Play, will premier this fall at The Bushwick Starr! Created by The Debate Society, Blood Play translates the anti-Semitic medieval perception that Jewish men menstruated into a provocative, 20th century thriller.
Soon, the story spread…Whispers in the basement bars of the homes around the neighborhood. Rumors served at the soda shop. Kids, terrified, telling trembling tales in tents in the backyard. …He’s out there.
Blood Play will perform October 3 – 27th, 2012.
