The Damned Off-Broadway Original Cast

Tony Award-winning director Ivo van Hove unleashes his visionary creativity at the Armory with the prestigious Comedie-Francaise, which for more than three centuries has boldly faced the perils of the stage, for the North American premiere of his adaptation of Luchino Visconti’s desperately dark drama The Damned. The historic walls of the Wade Thompson Drill Hall form the backdrop for this remarkable production, which employs cameramen prowling amongst the actors to catch close ups of key moments that are projected on massive screens amongst the minimalist set to create scenography that borders on installation art.
