WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Deep Trance Behavior in Potatoland: A Richard Foreman Theater Machine uses digital material filmed in Japan and England and takes place on a stage in New York in which everything is askew--the windows, the walls (covered with turn of the century photographs) and the furniture, which includes two pianos. Even the large screens on which images are projected are off balance. Within this setting, the mind is asked to jump from world to world, Japan to England, filmed world to live stage world. The mind is also asked to jump to new ways of relating to reality, a reality in which ideas and behaviors, when viewed correctly, are also askew.

Deep Trance Behavior presents a dreamlike collage of sounds and images, where nearly everything is viewed from a skewed angle. Gestures and phrases are repeated, lights illuminate the audience almost as often as they shine on the actors, various props are handled in b[...]
