Photos: Talking Band Premieres THE DOOR SLAMS, A GLASS TREMBLES at La MaMa
Paul Zimet directs Ellen Maddow, Tina Shepard, and Steven Rattazzi in the La MaMa Downstairs production.
Downtown experimental theatre company Talking Band, now in its fifth decade, has premiered The Door Slams, A Glass Trembles at La MaMa. Get a first look at photos here!
This new work, written and directed by Paul Zimet inspired by Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain, using repetition and elastic theatrical time to explore mortality, intimacy, and political unease within everyday life.
The cast includes founding company members, Ellen Maddow and Tina Shepard; longtime collaborators, Jack Wetherall, Steven Rattazzi and Lizzie Olesker; Amara Granderson, seen last year in Talking Band’s Triplicity; and Patrick Dunning, Delaney Feener, and Jesse B. Koehler, making their debut performances with the company. The Door Slams, A Glass Trembles features original music composed by Ellen Maddow, lighting design by Mary Ellen Stebbins, set and projection design by Anna Kiraly, and costumes by Olivera Gajic. Choreography by Flannery Gregg.
