Target Margin’s ICEMAN Lab presents a radical new approach to THE ICEMAN COMETH, with four diverse theater artists each tackling a separate act of the play. This fresh take on O’Neill’s classic will allow audiences to see each act as a separate experiment, all four together as a unified whole, or both. Lead Artists include Julia Sirna-Frest (actor / director), Yuris Skujins (actor), Katie Rose McLaughlin (choreographer) and Jeanette Oi-Suk Yew (lighting/projection designer, director, puppeteer).
ICEMAN ACT I
By Julia Sirna-Frest
Shane Chapman and Julia Sirna-Frest present a song cycle that meanders through disCHORDant changes and sings to the sweet oblivion that is life as a listless drunken human.
ICEMAN ACT II
By Yuris Skujins
Bleak beautiful horrible visions haunt this downbeat birthday celebration. Fraught wicked partygoers mull and defend and deny their weak standing under their even weaker circumstances.
ICEMAN ACT III
By Katie Rose McLaughlin
Exits and entrances. Characters turned inside out. Internal psychodrama repurposed into constant physical movement. Six female dancers play O’Neill’s fourteen barflies in a highly choreographed study of existential dread, rising to the occasion and falling back down again.
ICEMAN ACT IV
By Jeanette Oi-Suk Yew
An audio and live-action puppetry animation journey into the sobering minds of the wax figures who were once proud and ambivalent drunks at Harry Hope’s bar.
