Banana Bag & Bodice will present the premiere of their film Space//Space as part of the Special Screenings program at the Anthology Film Archive. Space//Space is a cinematic reimagining of their 2012 critically acclaimed live theatre piece of the same title.

This highly anticipated new work, LongYarn, listed in Time Out NY's 20 Best Theatre Shows in NYC in 2016, is an outrageous shaggy-dog folktale of the adventurous and long-lived 'Mother', a character based on strong, peculiar and compelling women from history. The outlandish poetic adventures of her youth include tales of riverboat piracy, a stint as a professional wrestler, lost days as a crack addict and being raised by a family of cows, spun through a tenor of joyful hopelessness.

A rusty old tambourine nailbin of a night, with hurt trombones and mournful accordions, rowdy raccoons and sweet honeybees, silhouette charms and whiskey tenors screaming at the rain. Composer Dave Malloy (Beowulf - A Thousand Years of Baggage, Three Pianos, Clown Bible, 2009 Jonathan Larson Grant winner) and an ensemble of ten, including members of Banana Bag & Bodice, Three Pianos and The TEAM, work their way through a cacophonous pile of songs spanning four musicals and ten years of never before performed solo work. It's raucous anti-musical musical theater at its best.
