'Ugo's Last Dance' to Play at The Medicine Show 9/10
On September 10th through October 4th God's Machine will present David LeFort Nugent's Ugo's Last Dance. The play is directed by Alec Tok and stars Pun Bandhu as Ugo, Eliza Bent, Regi Huc, Matt Hussong, Erin Moon, Tom E. Russell & Kiat-Sing Teo.
Ugo's Last Dance is a haunting tale about three clowns, whose fame as political commentators under the previous regime, leads them-under a tyrannical usurper-to languish their days away in a jail cell, where the play is set. Faced with the looming specters of starvation and torture, there is little hope of salvation. Through performance, puppetry, and the live accompaniment of folk rock band Moore & Sons, Ugo's Last Dance will transport you to a magical and sinister land, where memories and illusion intertwine, reality becomes fiction, and where every moment is a struggle to hold on to your humanity.
The creative team is Roweena Mackay (dramaturg & assistant director), Brenda Davis (sets), Michael Locher (props), Eric Ting & Jonathan Cottle (puppets), Christina Bullard (costumes), Gina Scherr (lights) & Sharath Patel & Ted "TJ" Pallas (sound). Live music by Moore & Sons, with musical direction by Vickie Shagoian & choreography by Anna Massey.
The show will play at The Medicine Show Theatre at 569 West 52nd Street. For tickets please visit www.ugoslastdance.com or www.smarttix.com
