This play explores the work of vaudevillian comic and filmmaker Buster Keaton through two of his most famous endeavors: his short film Sherlock Jr. (1924) about a film projectionist who dreams himself into a movie to solve a crime and his collaboration late in his career with Samuel Beckett on the short film Film (1964). Using two Buster Keaton figures, one older and one younger, the work takes on two canonical films that are meditations on the relationship of the live to the reproducible, the human to the machine.
