ROMA FRINGE FESTIVAL 22 Giugno ore 21.30 – Nuclear Love Affair (New York) Palco A Sab 22 Giugno ore 22.30 Prodotto da BUILT FOR COLLAPSE UNO SPETTACOLO NUOVO DI ZECCA CON MARILYN MONROE, CHARLIE CHAPLIN E LA BOMBA ATOMICA Testimone della caduta dell’Impero Americano in questo “racconto straordinario di vittoria, ipocrisia e ignoranza” Nuclear Love Affair è una produzione piena di fisicità, presentando Elvis che balla in Vietnam, Charli Chaplin a Hiroshima e Marlin Monroe che ci spiega come fare a “Duck and Cover”. Come una coraggiosa evoluzione del sogno americano, Nuclear Love Affair si concentra sul periodo 1941—1969, tracciando l’ossessione americana con violenza, attraverso la reazione sociale e politica causata una volta lanciata la bomba atomica. Ritmi snervanti, parole disturbanti e un violento slapstick si scontrano per creare un’esplosione di cultura pop erotica in questa multimediale visione dell’Era Atomica. Created by BUILT FOR COLLAPSE A BOLD NEW SPECTACLE STARRING MARILYN MONROE, CHARLIE CHAPLIN, AND THE ATOMIC BOMB Witness the fall of the American Empire in this “extraordinary tale of victory, hypocrisy and ignorance.” Nuclear Love Affair is a physically charged production, featuring Elvis dancing through Vietnam, Charlie Chaplin at Hiroshima, and Marilyn Monroe teaching us how to “Duck and Cover.” A daring take on the evolution of the American Dream, Nuclear Love Affair focuses on the period of 1941-1969, tracing America’s obsession with violence through the social and political chain reaction caused by dropping the atomic bomb. Unnerving rhythms, disturbing text, and violent slapstick collide to create an erotic pop culture explosion in this multimedia investigation of the Atomic Age. “This play is spectacular…the general feeling is one of awe that this play has taken key moments not of history but of the feeling of the time, and gently problematized them to produce a great piece of entertainment that is well acted and wonderfully executed. And there’s nothing wrong with having such a handsome cast.” -Prague Post “An amazing theatrical experience.” -NYTheatre “An ambitiously subversive young troupe” -Time Out NY “Daringly experimental.” -Theasy For more info including our exclusive trailer visit built4collapse.org Directed by Sanaz Ghajarrahimi Costume Design by Michael Krass Media Design by Room 404 Media Sound Design by Colleen Toole Featuring Emily Brazee, Kristine Haruna Lee, Ben Hobbs, and Vincent Santvoord Built for Collapse, is an award-winning theater company committed to building multi-disciplinary work that challenges theatrical form.
