Request Concert
By Franz Xaver Kroetz
Friday and Saturday, February 19 – 20 at 8 p.m.
Featuring Sandra Dunn
Request Concert is a haunting solo performance, originally staged in 1985 as Jump-Start’s very first production. For our 25th anniversary, we are reviving this seminal, site-specific work that follows the protagonist through their regular evening rituals at home. The piece wordlessly reveals the character through a series of everyday actions that leads to a quiet, unsettling conclusion. Originally, Jump-Start staged this play in the actor’s apartment rather than in a theater. No more than twenty people at a time followed her from room to room throughout the performance, providing the audience with an intense and intimate perspective.
For the 2010 version, Request Concert will be staged as a series of site-specific performances in different houses or apartments with a collective of four performers (male and female, of diverse ages and ethnicities) who will also serve as directors for each other.
Future Performances:
March 19 – 20, 2010, featuring Dino Foxx
April 9 – 10, 2010, featuring Billy Muñoz
Fridays & Saturdays at 8 p.m.
