WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

In Losing Something, a man drifts inexorably into middle age. As he ineptly attempts to account for his past, the drift accelerates into a headlong plummet. Hobbled by the limitations of memory, he is confronted and confounded by the people he lost: his best friend, the victim of an ambiguous suicide attempt, the lover who initiated him into the darker side of sex, and his partners in a short-lived, clumsy ménage a trois. But as the only eyewitness to his own life, he is the least reliable witness of all.

A ghost play like no other, this darkly humorous yet profoundly moving theatrical event explores the impact of the loss of love, youth and ultimately of life. But death is not the end of the story...

Like the complex relationships between memory, perception and reality, the events on stage are a mix of illusion and reality. Losing Something features the North American theatrical premiere of Eyeliner technology, provided by 3-Legged Dog's Danish partners, Vision 4. Eyeliner is a new and unique high definition video projection system that allows spectacular and convincing 3-D moving images on a live stage. A high tech adaptation of the old stage trick, Peppers Ghost, Eyeliner produces high-resolution images of such striking quality that it is difficult to distinguish video from reality. This technology, which was featured on the Grammy Awards in a performance by Madonna and the Gorillaz, has never been seen before on the U.S. theatrical stage.

Written, directed and designed by Kevin Cunningham, founder and Executive Artistic Director of 3-Legged Dog. The cast includes Aldo Perez, Michael Bell, Victoria Chamberlin, Catherine Yeager and Livia DiPaoli.

WHAT ARE CRITICS SAYING?


A man stands on stage, talking to his older self, who appears right next to him. Both parts are played by the same actor. How is this possible? The answer is new technology called Eyeliner, a high definition video projection system that allows for convincing 3D moving images. In 3-Legged Dog Media & Theater Group's latest show, Losing Something, such technical wizardry accounts for some eye-popping special effects. Unfortunately, the same level of quality and innovation doesn't apply to the acting.

Written, directed, and designed by 3LD's artistic director Kevin Cunningham, the play would seem to be ideally suited to the Eyeliner technology, which makes its American stage debut with this p[...]
