The #FocusWithC1 experience continues! Extended by popular demand, Company One Theatre's production of REALLY will now run through March 5th at Matter & Light!

Company One's production of REALLY marks the first time a theatrical performance has been held in Matter & Light Fine Art gallery. With a 47-seat house, the gallery provides a uniquely intimate experience for this gripping new play. Together, theatregoers practically step inside the characters apartment and photography studio. In correlation with the show, Matter & Light will exhibit a visual art series also titled REALLY that's centered on exploring questions of representation in art, and portraiture in particular, through varied depictions of the human figure.

ABOUT THE SHOW:

REALLY by Jackie Sibblies Drury
Presented by Company One Theatre with Matter & Light Fine Art
Directed by Shawn LaCount

In a studio filled with photographs, two very different women work to process the disappearance of a charming, volatile artist. But which of them really knew him? Staged in SoWa's intimate Matter & Light Fine Art gallery, this striking, lyrical new work follows the people he left behind as they sort through his remaining photos which offer confounding clues into to the person they both loved. Through sound and silence, flash and shutter, REALLY explores the elusive way in which photography freezes a moment in time, and what effect that image has on memory.

"SoWa already has a strong heartbeat; this performance amplifies it." - Art New England

"Heartbreakingly on-point ... this is a striking production, all told, and a fascinating entry into Drury's canon." - WBUR's The ARTery
