A movement theatre piece inspired by Seneca's "Thyestes," combining sections of the classic tale with an equally dark modern vision.
A whirlwind of scenes bridges the torture, murder and cannibalism dogging ill-fated Tantalus: to modern plagues both frightening and banal, from war crimes to YouTube vapidity. In this world premiere performance, The New Stage Theatre Company brings its bold mix of standout choreography, video projection, costuming, lighting and sound to playwright Charles Mee's vision, resulting in a night of disorienting theatre.
