Brooklyn-based theater company 31 Down's loud meditation on paranoia and premonition surrounding plane crashes, RED OVER RED, will premiere with a run at New York City's Incubator Arts Project July 22-August 7, 2010. 31 Down returns with their signature sonic destruction, creating a horror theater that is immersive, visceral and contemporary. Red Over Red follows four people working in and around the airline industry to explore distrust in one another on a personal level, and distrust in the unknown on a primal level. Featuring recurring crash nightmares, the work graphically dives into our renewed fears of flight post 911. Starring frequent Richard Foreman and Hal Hartley actor DJ Mendel, and Caitlin McDonough-Thayer, Ryan Holsopple and Risa Sarachan.
Written and performed by Miranda Huba, Candy Tastes Nice follows the story of a young girl determined to auction off her virginity. What starts off as a simple bid to re-pay student loans turns into a mass media frenzy, and soon countries are bidding against each other in order to obtain the girl's elusive innocence.
