Opening this evening (Thurs) through Saturday Nov 2, TheaterMatters presents the play, THE SHAPE OF THINGS ~ 8 pm each evening at VOMA. $10 at the door. * MATURE SUBJECT MATTER & STRONG LANGUAGE * The Shape of Things pits gentle, awkward Adam against experienced, analytic, amoral Evelyn, a graduate student in art. After a chance meeting at a museum, Evelyn and Adam embark on an intense relationship that causes shy and principled Adam to go to extraordinary lengths, to improve his appearance and character. In the process, Evelyns subtle and insistent coaching results in a reconstruction of Adams fundamental moral character. Labutes work is an intense and disturbing study not only of the uses of power within human relationships, but also of the ethics involved in the relationship of art and life. To what extent is an artist licensed to shape and change her medium or to alter the work of another artist? What is acceptable artistic material? At what point does creation become manipulation, and at what point does creation destroy? The Shape of Things challenges societys most deeply entrenched ideas about art, manipulation, and love.
