Vengeance Can Wait

vengeance

vengeance

Written by up and coming Japanese playwright Yukiko Motoya, Vengeance Can Wait is a kinky comedy about love, submission, and sweet revenge by one of Japan’s leading contemporary
female playwrights.

Influenced by anime and manga (Japanese graphic novels and comic books), Vengeance Can Wait navigates Japanese sub-culture as it charts a different kind of love story. A couple has the perfect domestic relationship: he spends his days planning the perfect revenge, while she awaits her perfect punishment. Dark, twisted and touching, the couple come to understand the “kinks” in their relationship – and embrace them.

Directed by Jose Zayas

Co-translation by Kyoko Yoshida and Andy Bragen

Featuring Becky Yamamoto, Jennifer Lim*, Pun Bandhu*, and Paul H. Juhn*

Stage Manager/Assistant Director: Mark Karafin ; Scene Designer: Ryan Elliot Kravetz; Lighting Designer: Evan Purcell; Sound Designer: Matthew Tennie; Costume Designer: Carla Bellisio

This production is made possible through generous support from the Japan Foundation and the David Schwartz Foundation.

“Ms. Christa has a way of making dance and theater happen without seeming to lift a finger”
– Jennifer Dunning

In anticipation of their two year-old child’s fiftieth birthday, two older parents create a digital video – part time capsule, part time travel – and fill it with love and living memories, as a gift for their child to open in the future.

Award-winning choreographers and performers Gabri Christa and Niles Ford have collaborated and danced together for the last 15 years. This evening length multi-media performance incorporates moments from their past and integrates lots of new. Through dance, spoken and sung text, the performers inhabit a vivid and visceral world conjured by video artist and Obie Award winner Marilys Ernst and live accompaniment by Ted Graves of Burnt Sugar.

More about Gabri Christa: Gabri’s work has been performed in spaces in New York and around the country. She is the winner of numerous awards and honors including the John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship and was an artist in residence at Dance Theater Workshop. he currently teaches at the School of the Staten Island Ballet.

Mars

Taking a cue from the space industry, Jay Scheib pits hard Science against Philip K. Dick in his unpredictable and explosive “antic play – half lab-rat experiment and half sex farce” (The New Yorker). Interplanetary speculation runs amok, the indigenous population gets screwed, and a strange and sexy “anomalous” chick seems to hold all the answers. Developed at MIT with a team of Mars researchers and anthropologists, a mission to colonize the Red Planet is revving up for 2017. Imagining what might happen once we get there, Scheib drops seven performers into a simulated Martian society. Can’t make ends meet on Earth? Consider a one-way ticket to Mars!

With performances by Karl Allen, Dorka Gryllus, Caleb Hammond, László Keszég, Catherine McCurry, Tanya Selvaratnam, April Sweeney, Natalie, Thomas, Balázs Vajna with special on-camera appearances by Waris Ahluwalia, Phillip
Cunio, Kofi Hope-Gund, Henrik Hargitai, Zahra Khan, and Dr. Robert
Zubrin and others…
