Strangers
by Nastaran Ahmadi
directed by Shoshona Currier
created by The Shalimar
produced in association with the Ontological-Hysteric Incubator
May 28 - June 13
at
The Ontological Theater at St. Mark’s Church
Film noir, green card marriages, movie musical fantasies, and
the romance of escapism. Inspired by the Company's interviews on immigration with people in cross-cultural relationships.
Strangers explores the tension between what's real
and what is imagined and how Hollywood colors our
worldview. A theatrical exploration of reality
and what happens after the credits roll...
