THE WINDOW
a Site Specific Theatrical Work in our Midtown storefront space .
Obie Award Winners Samuel D. Hunter and Nic Ularu as well as Daniela Codarcea Kamiliotis and Saviana Stănescu will team with creator/director Ana Mărgineanu on the project in May and April 2012.
The corner of Third Avenue and 38th Street will offer passersby the chance to experience theater as onlookers this spring. RCINY will present THE WINDOW, created, developed and directed by Romanian-born, New York-based director, Ana Margineanu, in April and May.
For THE WINDOW U.S.-based Romanian stage designers have been invited to redesign RCINY’s Third Avenue storefront gallery space, and acclaimed U.S. playwrights to write new plays for this re-imagined gallery. In this project the space dictates the shape of the performance as opposed to the normal order of operations where the nature of the play determines the set. Different teams of stage designers and playwrights will work together for each run of the project.
THE WINDOW breaks the classic convention of the theatregoer buying a ticket, entering the theatre and just seeing a show. This time, the audience members are in control and decide how long to watch the performance. Pedestrians may view the piece as a “living window” for a few moments, in a quick flash or in its entirety.
