PICTURES FROM A REVOLUTION

Upstream Theater presents Pictures from a Revolution (Quadri di una rivoluzione) by Tino Caspanello, English translation by Haun Saussy, US premiere, director Philip Boehm. Three last resistance fighters of an unidentified revolution are living inside the walls of a stadium, while enemies lurk outside, watching and waiting. One of the men goes looking for food and winds up bringing a woman into their closed circle. Are they right to trust her? The ensuing scenes echo a series of famous paintings by Rembrandt, Matisse, Degas, and others, and highlight themes touched on in the dialogues of this deep and darkly comic piece. Featuring J. Samuel Davis*, Isaiah DiLorenzo, Andre Eslamian, and Lizi Watt* (*indicates membership in Actors’ Equity Association)
