Seascape with Sharks and Dancer by Don Nigro
Seattle, Washington -Unstable leadership, undeniable falsehoods, and indistinguishable borders: things are not always as they appear. Absurd Reality Theatre (ART) and Don Nigro's Seascape with Sharks and Dancer tackle the possibility of love in today's world with an unrelenting optimism and bring to light a salvation for our alienation
After opening their 2006-2007 season at the Odd Duck Studio, ART is returning to their old stomping grounds at the Northwest Actors Studio where they spent their 2005-2006 season. Northwest Actors studio presented the voyeuristic yet intimate atmosphere needed for Ben's beach house, the only location of the play.
"We truly enjoyed working with the Odd Duck", Brandon Ryan, artistic director of ART said, "but we felt NWAS worked perfectly for our design and ideas for Seascape with Sharks and Dancer."
In Don Nigro's tale about love and creation, the actors of ART take on a modern day love story for a generation Tracy, a 20 year old antagonist of her own life. She finds herself torn between her need for safety and her certainty that all human relationships eventually turn into nightmares. Ben is simplistic in his unfaltering acceptance of Tracy and the world around him. They've got all the words in the world, but can they find the right ones to communicate? Seascape is a story of people who promise according to their hopes and perform according to their fears. It questions whether any really functional relationship between a man and a woman is possible, and yet ensures us dysfunction is okay, even desirable.
