Blueprint Theater Project Announces LARGO
By: Gabrielle Sierra Mar. 18, 2011
Realism takes a backseat in Blueprint Theater Project's LARGO, a new play by David Alex Andrejko, directed by Ellen Orenstein. Set site-specifically at CV Lounge at the Hotel on Rivington (105 Rivington, New York, NY), LARGO invites audiences into the dangerous world of New York City nightlife.
Three men. Three women. Drink. Dance. Desperate loneliness. The chapter continues. LARGO examines six seemingly disparate individuals on a night out. What begins as innocent banter over cocktails quickly transforms into fantasy and nightmare. LARGO is the second movement of Blueprint Theater Project's dramatic symphony, THE HUMAN VARIATIONS. The first movement, SCHERZO, was performed at the iconic Upper East Side cafe, Alice's Tea Cup. As a whole, THE HUMAN VARIATIONS examines those moments when human beings are right next to each other and still deeply alone. The characters collide and share intimacy and closeness, while their small, seemingly innocuous, everyday interactions become more and more exposed, shaping who they are and what they obsess about.THE HUMAN VARIATIONS is "theality," a new theatrical style that juxtaposes expressive movement with hyper-realistic, docu-theater techniques. The final two movements, ALLEGRO and RONDO, will premiere with both LARGO and SCHERZO in Summer/Fall 2011.
Tickets are $10 and are available through www.theatermania.com. LARGO opens Thursday April 14th and will run April 14th - 16th and April 21st - 23rd with doors opening at 9pm. It runs 45 minutes. Blueprint Theater Project will be offering a limited number of complimentary "artists tickets" at each performance of LARGO for artists who can prove a need.
