Inspired by Ingmar Bergman's 1966 psychological film, PERSONA, ANIMUS uses performance, multi-media projection, and live video captured onstage to explore the merging identities of two modern women, one who speaks and one who doesn't, who compare hands and "get all mixed up in one another." Focusing on themes of identity, shame and voyeurism, ANIMUS explores not only personal identity, but also online personas, blurring what is real and what is fake.
ANIMUS is created and performed by Emily Michaels King and Debra Berger of E/D and Amber Johnson of DangerVision Productions.
Additional Information:
ANIMUS is presented as part of the Ingmar Bergman Jubilee. The year 2018 marks 100 years since the birth of Ingmar Bergman: world-famous filmmaker, legendary theatre director and exceptional writer. The Jubilee, starting in Autumn 2017 and continuing throughout 2018, has taken place over the entire world, with theatrical performances, exhibitions, documentaries, film retrospectives, book releases and festivals.

BWW Review: Inspired by Ingmar Bergman, E/D's ANIMUS Combines Theater, Film, Music, and Movement to Create a Stunningly Beautiful and Chillingly Disturbing Piece of Art
December 19, 2018ANIMUS is a theater piece that incorporates film (both pre-recorded as well as projected live) better than any I've seen before. In fact everything about the piece is thoughtfully created and exquisitely executed. Produced by a new company (called E/D), but not a new collaboration (Emily Michaels King and Debra Berger), it's inspired by the 1966 Ingmar Bergman film PERSONA and is in fact part of the Swedish filmmaker's jubilee celebration. I've not seen this film, but if it's as hauntingly beautiful and downright trippy as ANIMUS, I now want to. Presented as part of last year's Twin Cities Horror Festival, it's been expanded to 90 fully engrossing minutes. ANIMUS continues through December 22 only and should not be overlooked in this busy season both on and off stage.
