First Love
By Samuel Beckett
Performed by Conor Lovett
Directed by Judy Hegarty Lovett

One of Samuel Beckett's early novellas, First Love contains much of his distinctive black humour and a plot that is regarded as a masterpiece of Beckettian perversity. A young man, expelled from the family home, takes refuge on a bench by a canal. There he meets a woman who takes him home, with comically disastrous consequences.

LIGA, 50% reward & 50% punishment
Kassys (The Netherlands)

LIGA starts with the end on video. A live "flashback" follows as the actors learn to pretend. Young and easily influenced, their human need to conform makes them susceptible to manipulation.

Sight is the sense that dying people tend to lose first
Written and Directed by Tim Etchells (UK)
Performed by Jim Fletcher

Sight is the sense... is a long, free-associating monologue that tumbles from topic to topic to create a vast failing explanation of the world. Comical in its apparent naiveté and preposterously encyclopedic in scope, it exposes the absurdity and horror of consciousness as it tries and fails to define everything that it encounters.

Jan 10-11
Sat 1/10 at 7pm, Sun 1/11 at 1:30pm

Marc Bamuthi Joseph for The Living Word Project

Transition
Performed by Reggie Watts
Directed by Tommy Smith
Created by Reggie Watts and Tommy Smith

Reality is boring. Drugs are harmful. How does one escape? Reggie Watts knows. Take a trip with Transition, a cutting-edge comedic explosion of stereophonic effects and multimedia interactions.

Woyzeck
Sadari Movement Laboratory in association with AsiaNow (Korea)

In this gripping, stripped-down version from Korea, wooden chairs are used as a changeable metaphor, while Astor Piazzolla's tango music pulses throughout, revealing the characters' emotional states with shattering clarity and force.

Performed in Korean with English supertitles.
