Come see Holly and I in this whacky play.

The first two weeks of the play "Foreigners" are under our belt, and WOW! (see previous post for full info). Good turn out, and great feedback from attendees. Marcus says "Crazy, confusing, bizarre, out there...never seen anything like it...made me think, made me grateful". One e-mail we received: "Though I had a little hesitation, I went and saw a really different and action packed play last night; "Information for Foreigners". I found it to be thought provoking and emotion evoking.I recommend everyone go check it out…" Rob Roy.

Information for Foreigners

By Griselda Gambaro

As a drama of dolor, disbelief, and disappearances, Information for Foreigners literally leads audiences through scenes of torture and brutality. Gambaro sculpted this experimental piece of theatre in order to have audience members become part of the play as a real life event. Using her experiences as an Argentinean during the Dirty War and Disappearances, Gambaro blurred the lines of what is considered theatrical, ridiculous, realistic, and horrible. As tour guides walk audiences through various rooms, we see actors rehearsing theatrical deaths, police torturing prisoners, children playing while their parents are taken from them. Throughout these scenes, tour guides explain to audiences that these are all based on true stories from different parts of Argentina in 1971. Combining puppetry, shadow work, dance, bilingualism, and acting techniques, this production highlights the importance of the Disappearances as history and as a stark allegory for our lives today. 21 actors take on multiple roles of oppressor/oppressed, male/female, alive/dead, actor/audience and many more dualistic, complex relationships to show audiences a ridiculous and nightmarish world of oppression and tribulation.
