Pirandello Project

NYTW presents the world premiere of a new theatrical work by Martha Clarke (creator of the seminal Vienna: Lusthaus (revisited)), which uses dance, live music, text, and visual imagery to re-tell four Luigi Pirandello stories featured in the Taviani Brothers’ renowned 1984 film Kaos. Set in turn-of-the-century Sicily, the stories portray common people in mystical situations, heavily influenced by poverty and the violent political unrest of the time. Pirandello Project is the working title for this work.
