4.48 Psychosis in The USA (Kansas City Fringe Festival)

4.48 Psychosis - click for link

The 4.48 Psychosis from Lawrence, Kansas is revived for the Kansas Fringe Festival at the end of July 2010.  Because of staging constraints this will ne a simplified version of the Lawrence production.  The director is Dan Born.

"4.48 Psychosis is a black snowflake that cannot melt. The poetic and searing story of a young woman's journey to suicide, the script has no stage directions, no set description, not even a cast list or assigned roles. Each production is compelled into uniqueness; the challenge is to make that uniqueness seem inevitable."

Thanks to Dan for the information.

Ansia (Crave) in Argentina

"El gran tema es la soledad, una soledad absoluta, terrible, devastadora, de la cual es imposible salir. Sentimiento de caos, bronca e impotencia, sumado a no poder dejar de oír en la cabeza del otro, las voces propias, que hablan de las cosas que más tememos.

Ansia es un monólogo interno. Refleja una batalla terrible que se libra en el interior del individuo. Pareciera que no hay peor violencia que la que uno es capaz de autoinflingirse a través del dolor, del recuerdo de lo atroz, de la incapacidad para lidiar con la realidad.

La acción sucede en sus mentes; no los vemos hacer algo concreto, los escuchamos, se dicen a sí mismos, como tratando de explicarse el maremoto de voces, recuerdos, pensamientos y emociones que padecen.

Los textos de la autora no tienen misericordia alguna, su explícita violencia revela las turbaciones y el hartazgo de su alma; son tan hirientes que la convirtieron en una escritora polémica, rara, inhóspita. Pero su obra también encarna una escritura de gran precisión, de lenguaje y dramaturgia originales y propios, y de una sensibilidad poética fuera de serie.

Actuan: Julieta Cajal, Graciela García Loza, Javier Luquez Toledo, Sebastian Simoni
Dirección: Pablo Lescano2
