What did our critic think of MY BEDROOM IS AN INSTALLATION at Imago Theatre?

My Bedroom is an Installation to be presented at Imago Theatre, October 6 to 22, 2023.

Carol Triffle, Portland's premier absurdist playwright, has penned a darkly stirring comedy called Fallout. When three characters are trapped in a fallout shelter, their identities slide from doom to zany, and all perspective of life is confused.

Carol Triffle and Jerry Mouawad, Artistic Directors of Imago Theatre, each bring to the stage their own original work in May and June. To Fly Again is written, choreographed and directed by Jerry Mouawad and plays May 4, 5, 6, 11, and 12, Fri/Sat at 7:30, Sun at 2:00.  Fallout is written and directed by Carol Triffle and plays June 1, 2, 3, 8, and 9, Fri/Sat at 7:30, Sunday at 2:00. While distinctly different, each play taps into a world removed from the ordinary. 

Shaking the Tree's MACBETH is full of terrifying demons and shadows. Director Samantha Van Der Merwe uses cross-gender casting to explore the theme of what it means to be a man.

Imago Theatre's mentor Jacques Lecoq, a theatre icon who influenced the world on movement in the performing arts, taught a concept called  "the balance of the stage."  In 1998, Jerry Mouawad, Artistic Co-Director of Imago Theatre, designed a deck suspended in a black void three feet off the stage floor that tips and sways in an abyss. It made physical and visible Lecoq's "Balance of the Stage."

To Herzog's credit, the answers aren't easy, and Emma spends the play struggling to decide how she feels about her grandfather's actions, taking input from everyone around her while trying to figure out how best to honor his legacy - even as she's still unsure what that legacy actually is.

CoHo Productions will present Enjoy, by Toshiki Okada with English translation by Aya Ogawa, co-produced and directed at the CoHo Theatre by Michael Griggs.
