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.

Sea Rex: Journey to a Prehistoric World, a stunning IMAX film, opens at the American Museum of Natural History on Monday, January 10, 2011. This 41-minute film sheds light on the extraordinary prehistoric underwater world and its larger-than-life creatures, which, with their daunting size and natural ability for predation, were ruling the seas 20 million years before dinosaurs roamed the earth. Moviegoers will meet Julie, an imaginative young woman, as she travels from a modern-day aquarium to the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods. Viewers will explore an amazing underwater universe inhabited by, among other animals, the powerful Liopleurodon, the long-necked Elasmosaurus, Ophthalmosaurus or 'eye lizard,' the ferocious Prognathodon, and the gigantic 75-foot Shonisaurus. The film was shot in studio and on location at various museums in Paris and London, as well as in Egypt and New Zealand to capture the aerial, landscape, and underwater scenes. Sea Rex: Journey to a Prehistoric World was written and directed by Pascal Vuong and Ronan Chapalain and produced by Catherine and Pascal Vuong and Francois Mantello. The film features an original score by Franck Marchal and a screenplay by Pascal Vuong, Rick Dowlearn, and Ronan Chapalain. The film is produced by N3D LAND Productions and Mantello Brothers Productions. Sea Rex: Journey to a Prehistoric World is distributed worldwide by 3D Entertainment Distribution.
