About This Show

THIS PRODUCTION HAS BEEN POSTPONED.

Last Tango in Paris is a world premiere all-new multi-media experiment drawing influence from the iconic 1973 Bernardo Bertolucci film, conceived and directed by Doris Mirescu.

Presented as a multi-media theater piece, Director Mirescu has taken this classic story and made it one of timeless relevance and post-modern significance. Described by the director as “drop by drop sorrow, loneliness and despair pass through the dark empty room where flesh bleeds, sex exudes beauty and sweat and ghosts of the past wander through images of distorted bodies.” Mirescu goes on to say, “Many will recall the Marlon Brando film version.
This adaptation captures much of the core of that movie’s very abyss, in stunning portrayals by startling and courageous young actors, surrounded by live cameras, creating a sexual tragedy haunted by sounds of lost tangos and shadow of myths.”
