THEATRE

This double-bill offers a rare opportunity to see three international theatre artists in a richly imaginative evening of theater. Jola Cynkutis of Poland, Khalid Tyabji of India and Diane Edgecomb of Boston will present two one-act pieces strongly influenced by Grotowski's Teatr Laboratorium of Poland. The Laboratorium created a revolution in theatre by eschewing narrative text and scenic elements in favor of startling physical and vocal imagery rooted in the actor's psyche. Through evocative images, movement, text and songs “Restraints” and “Passages” enchant and challenge audiences while exploring universal themes. “Restraints,” a gripping exploration of religious madness, conceived and performed by Diane Edgecomb, received rave reviews from the Boston Globe during its 2006 Boston premiere. “Restraints swings soundly into the next world. Edgecomb’s juxtapositions prove inspired...” It is joined by a companion piece, “Passages” a theatrical poem of life’s journey called “intense, honest, meditative and rigorous” by City Limits, Delhi Tour Blog: http://livingmyth.wordpress.com
