Motormorphosis & Butterfly on the Antenna

In honor of his 70th birthday and upcoming two month residency at Columbia University, Untitled Theater Company #61 (Artistic Director Edward Einhorn) – the company that brought us the Ionesco Festival and recently the NEUROfest – presents all of the plays of Vaclav Havel in Havel Fest.

Motormorphosis, making its world premiere, is a one-act satire featuring a cast of absurd puppets. It is the story of a dreaded disease that is turning people into cars. The play is translated by Carol Rocamora and Tomas Rychetsky, directed, designed and performed by Tanya Khordoc and Barry Weil and produced by Evolve Company.

Butterfly on the Antenna, making its English language premiere, was originally a teleplay that never aired because Havel’s work had been banned. The play is about intellectuals who sit and talk about a play about intellectuals who sit and talk while in the other room, a flood is beginning. Butterfly on the Antenna is translated by Carol Rocamora and Tomas Rychetsky, directed by Henry Akona, and produced by WalkingShadow.
