The Gentlemen's Gentlemen is a play about an actress discovering the murderous intentions of an audience. She tries to warn the rest of the cast but too late! Fortunately a Wild Boar intervenes.
Footage we took of the play every time we rehearsed it (in New York, Chicago and Ghent) was projected in overlapping sequences during the play. Sometimes, the footage predicted action on stage, sometimes it repeated something from four years ago (yes, we've been working on it for that long) When the play was not going on, Noe and I would arrange the sets (platforms, plants, costumes) as an installation haunted
by the the projections of past performances. We described it in the play bill as Stanley Kubrik's "The Shining" meets Bertolt Brecht's Die Dreigroschenoper. Thanks to Croxhapox and all in Ghent Belgium.
