The New Stage Theatre Company (www.newstagetheatre.org) returns to La MaMa December 2 to 19 with 'Mapping Möbius,' a new play directed by Ildiko Nemeth and written by Colm O' Shea, Marie Glancy-O' Shea and Ildiko Nemeth. In the piece, an aging scientist, realizing his inquiries continually return him to a model of his own mind, devises a set of experiments that blur the distinction between his inner and outer worlds. New Stage Theatre Company (NTSC) made an auspicious La MaMa debut last season with 'Oh, Those Beautiful Weimar Girls!,' an evening of the music and dance associated with exotic dancer Anita Berber, who symbolized many the decadence of Weimar era Berlin. 'Mapping Möbius' reunites director Nemeth with the team of that production, notably Julie Atlas Muz (choreography), Federico Restrepo (lighting design), Javier Boné-Carboné (costume design) and actors Peter Schmitz, Chris Tanner and Markus Hirnigel.
