Theater scene in LA is relatively small, considering the emphasis on entertainment culture and art the city has. Probably has to do with the short history of the city and concentration of the movie industry - but also considering the fact that the theater is the origin of the actors dream, it is such a irony.
Well, now.. I have to introduce this non-profit theater group "Theater movement Bazaar" and their amazing work in progress piece, "Model Behavior" which was inspired by the story Jekyll and Hyde.. The reason I was so blown away by this play, although there's nothing new about the story itself, is because of the composition of the play itself in terms of sounds, movement and dialogs of the actors. The play is carried on as 2 eight male vs. female teams, which they represents the different aspects of human behavior - mostly dark side. The dialogs is fast and whimsical, and the humor is sarcastic. everything I would love...
The play shown at the redcat last Friday was work on progress piece, but the more developed and finalized version of this play will soon to be come. Again, I am also happy to get to aware of another serious non-profit group and especially in Theater - and hoping the revival of theater in LA.
